Hammons has announced that he is changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol: ℑ.

“I read about this kinda thing a few years back, and I thought it might make me feel young again,” said the erstwhile Mr. Hammons at a Friday morning press conference in Springfield.

Merle Atkinson, who serves as VP of Facility Operations for ℑ, was exasperated by the news. “I’m stunned quite frankly,” he said, “but we’ll do what Mr. Hammons wants us to do.” Atkinson quickly corrected himself by saying, “I mean, we’ll do what Mr. Symbol wants us to do. Or…whatever.”
