But would there be a seventh-inning stretch?Don’t know if you’ve heard, but the San Francisco Chamber Symphony has agreed to honor tickets for any remaining Giants or Oakland A’s games at all of its 1995 concerts.

We wondered if Dodger ticket-holders might receive similar treatment from the L.A. Philharmonic, which opens its season here Oct 6. “It’s a great idea, but nothing has been decided,” said spokeswoman Norma Flynn. “I’ll talk to our marketing people to see if we could work something out.”

If the Philharmonic does let in the baseball fans, we wouldn’t be surprised to see a new sign at its concerts:

“No Beach Balls Allowed.”

This town was made for walkin’: Bob Fuchs of Glendora saw a crane that bore the slogan used by the city, which sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. Problem was, the extension arm had been replaced, cutting off part of the last word of the slogan.

So it read: “City of Glendora . . . PRIDE OF THE FOOT.”

Who’s the dunce here?The other day, we quoted the San Fernando Valley Historical Society’s publication as saying that a portion of Woodland Hills was once known as Moron. Actually, the society was referring to a Kern County settlement, the current city of Taft. Our error was all the more glaring inasmuch as Taft High of Woodland Hills won the national academic decathlon.

Dueling signs: On the other hand, we doubt that even the scholars at Taft High would be able to comprehend the signs that Cathy Steinhauser snapped in Woodland Hills.

Moron update: We had to find out the story on the real ex-Moron.

So we phoned the Taft Branch Library’s Catherine Edgecomb, who quipped: “We prefer the pronunciation, mor-ON. It sounds better.”

With her help, we discovered that the name apparently dates back to the early 1900s, when a former resident of Morro Bay moved to present-day Taft (near Bakersfield) and opened the Morro Pool Hall. People started calling the tiny town Morro. But that drew protests from the city of Morro Bay. So, townsfolk selected Moron as a comical compromise.

Then, in 1909, according to Curtis Darling’s “Kern County Place Names,” the local postmaster pointed out that Moron “meant one of subnormal intelligence.” He had the town renamed after President William Howard Taft.

No word on whether Taft felt honored to follow Moron.

miscelLAny Surely you’ve heard of that fashionable eatery, Cafe Med, in West L.A.? It’s the cafeteria at UCLA Medical Center.

Error-conditioned? Leon Laskowski of Whittier got this flyer from an Oldsmobile dealer with an inadvertent plug for a competing make.
