Fantasy Baseball Team Names, Mine Is Best Duh
Of course it is the fantasy baseball season now.
So, what have you named YOUR team? Carson Cistulli recently mentioned the Second Fangraphs Writers Ottoneu league — here shortened to THE AWESOME LEAGUE — during his podcast with Dayn Perry (FanGraphs Audio: The Gainfully Employed Dayn Perry) and the topic of team names briefly surfaced in their 43 minutes of otherwise unredeemable radio ranting.
There are lots of great fantasy baseball team names out there, and because THE AWESOME LEAGUE (my league) is comprised (a) entirely of writers and (b) partly of NotGraphs writers, who are the beatnik poets of the FanGraphs staff, we NotGraphers have the burdensome task of out-awesoming our peers in the most shortest form of poetry — yes, the fantasy baseball team name.
But, as we are all writers and thereby unreliable, backstabbing, self-loathing types, we cannot be trusted judges of our own team names — it is obviously that mine is best, but still we should put it to a vote and find who is the obviously second and the obviously worstest.
So, dear NotGraphs rabble, speak your soul:
Though I don’t even have like permission to share these THE AWESOME LEAGUE team names, I think we should compel the lowest vote-getter (by, oh, let’s say Wednesday) to change their fantasy team name.
What should they change it too? (tell me in the comments)
I named mine The Human Cespedes and think it’s better than all of these.
I’m a sucker for Brass Bonanza though…
Human Cespedes is outstanding. I’m partial to Nyjerz Wit Attitudes myself.
Love The Human Cespedes aswell. If you’re in Pittsburgh Huntington’s Disease is always a winner.
