You won’t want us to inform you this, but Minor League Baseball teams have a few pretty loopy names nowadays. Between the regular bizarre names (hiya, El Paso Chihuahuas) and the ever-developing listing of quick-time alter egos (hiya, Hickory Llamas), there, there may be no scarcity of unbelievable group names. [] For the 1/3 year, I went to spring training and asked baseball enthusiasts whether or not they may inform the distinction between real minor-league groups and ones that I made up on my flight to Arizona.

If you need to play along, here’s the list of teams we quizzed enthusiasts approximately: • Fayetteville Woodpeckers • Winterfell Direwolves • Rocket City Trash Pandas • Bowling Green Sink Holes • Las Vegas Aviators • Lake Havasu 69ers • Rocky Mountain Vibes • Scranton Stranglers • Amarillo Sod Poodles • Blue Springs Brussel Sprouts • San Antonio Flying Chanclas If you’ve missed the previous installment of this series, right here they’re Vol. 2.
