Comments on: Enough with the stupid team names http://outsidethepressbox.com/?p=1562 We used to be in there, now we're out here Tue, 07 Sep 2010 05:54:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Adam http://outsidethepressbox.com/?p=1562&cpage=1#comment-332 Adam Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:35:29 +0000 http://outsidethepressbox.com/?p=1562#comment-332 The Flying Squirrels is awesome. Minor league baseball should be the place were quirky names thrive. Having a team named after a pro team is just boring. When the Potomac Cannons became the Potomac Nationals, I was heartbroken, even though I'm a Nats fan (I live in the area. What?) Keep the weird minor league team names.

Flying squirrels are a pretty cool animal, as the picture you've selected for this post clearly demonstrates. (I do agree that without some kind of local connection, the name kind falls flat. Is this some kind of Rocky 'n Bullwinkle type of deal?) Worst team name I can remember from my many hours of combing through the transactions wire: Gwinnett Gwizzlies.
