	Albuquerque Isotopes is perfect!

	They are going to send me back to Omaha, and I don't even live there!

	This just wasn't cricket!! Kidding, didn't have a clue, just guessed the ones that sounded cool!

	@jecca: The amazing thing about the Isotopes is that they are named after a fake team that appeared in a Simpsons episode!

	There used to be the Lubbock Crickets (not AAA) named in honor of Buddy Holly & the Crickets. Also, this type of quiz is really better suited to clickable, now that that's available.

	I recall a discussion with some friends a while back about the stupidest name for a sports team - we settled on the Cottbus Crayfish (American football team in Germany), but after seeing some of these I think I might revise my opinion!

	@rockgolf: I read on Wikipedia (so obviously it HAS to be true) that the writer for the Simpsons who wrote the Isotopes episode used to announce for the Syracuse Chiefs (the current AAA affiliate of the Nationals) and that's what he based the team on in the episode. So the Syracuse Chiefs have an interesting connection with the Albuquerque Isotopes. Just another fun fact, I guess. BTW...for a while the Chiefs were known as the "Skychiefs" so as not to offend the Native Americans....but it didn't go over well since it was SO rediculous sounding. Maybe not the worst, based on the list above though.

	To me they're still the Syracuse Chiefs. Who cares what the Indians think.

	Cottbus Crayfish undefeated champs last year! Also definitely need to go with Presbyterean Blue Hose as worst team name in sports

	Thank you MLB the Show, only way I wouldve known these

	The most-correctly-guessed answer is the Mud Hens. I see people still remember their MAS*H.

	ShveLaSoul:	Apr 10th, 2012 at 19:11 GMT	3 points
	Go 'Topes!

	My son is a minor league broadcaster, so I have had the pleasure of learning a lot of minor league names. You left off my favorite: the Montgomery Biscuits.

	slipkid:	Apr 10th, 2012 at 19:42 GMT	6 points
	@gellchom: Montgomery Biscuits are a AA team. Stay tuned, I am contributing a AA sequel to this quiz shortly (and the Biscuits are on it).

	As an Albuquerque native, I know some people who still prefer The Dukes, our old name. But Isotopes has creativity going for it.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Yep, Max Klinger scored me one.

	tstenz:	Apr 10th, 2012 at 23:41 GMT	3 points
	By "calvary" did you mean "cavalry"? Cavalry would be a sweet name for a team, but naming a team after Calvary would trump the weirdness of any of these names.

	Baseball video games definitely helped me here

	@KevinA715: I did mean "cavalry". "Calvary" would be too weird. Can I blame my spelling error on being so close to Easter? I have asked the admins to correct it. Nice pick up by you. You are the only one to point it out in 23,000 game plays.
