Twelve Mile Circle examined piles of sports teams while researching Other State Nickname Thingies<\/a>. Generally I stuck with university teams although professional basketball’s Golden State Warriors became the best example. Of course I gazed at other sports too. Then I fell into the weirdness that could only be described as the names of minor league baseball teams<\/a>. I wasn’t the first one to notice these unusual designations. The Intertubes are filled with articles about the strangest team names so I decided to take a slightly different tack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team volatility also surprised me. They changed names, affiliations, and cities with abandon. I examined a minor league team closest to me geographically, the Potomac Nationals. There wasn’t anything particularly creative about the name for this High-A farm team for the Washington Nationals. However, in less than forty year of it existence it had gone by Alexandria Dukes, Prince William Yankees, Prince William Cannons, Potomac Cannons, and then Potomac Nationals. It also changed affiliations between the Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Yankees, Chicago White Sox, St. Louis Cardinals, Cincinnati Reds and currently the Washington Nationals. I noticed this wasn’t unusual as I examined other teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Frederick Keys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Frederick<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The nearest team to me where I grew up was the Frederick Keys. They’re a High-A team affiliated with the Baltimore Orioles, based in Frederick, Maryland (map<\/a>). The name “Keys” certainly qualified as an odd choice, in this case honoring historical resident Francis Scott Key, of Star Spangled Banner<\/a> fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d attended many games over the years when — completely by chance — I happened to enter the ballpark on August 14, 1992. It was a Friday. I knew that only because I found a record of the game online. Something piqued my curiosity as we approached the stadium gate. I never had to walk through magnetometers like I was entering an airport before. So I suspected what might be brewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure enough, two military helicopters landed next to the field and out walked President George H. W. Bush and family into the stadium. They’d been vacationing at nearby Camp David. Presidential sightings in the Washington, DC area aren’t particularly unusual, however it was still pretty cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a long tradition with the Frederick Keys at the 7th inning stretch. The team’s theme song always played over the stadium speakers, a hokey event where everyone shakes their keys<\/a>, because this was the Keys. A bad pun, I know. Anyway, here was the best part — President Bush didn’t have any keys!<\/em> He had to borrow a set of keys from someone in his party so he could play along. That notion stuck with me ever since — an amazing realization that the president was so powerful that no door ever locked in his path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Classic Match-Ups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Monty.<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The bizarre variety of minor league baseball team names offered plenty of fodder for fictional match-ups. I didn’t consider whether they made any sense from a competitive standpoint because it hardly mattered, although I’d still love to see some of these games fielded in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food Fight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For instance, how about the Montgomery Biscuits (map<\/a>) vs. the Kansas City T-Bones? A lump of dough battling a hunk of meat. Nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dudes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most laid-back game would have to be the Traverse City Beach Bums vs. the Asheville Tourists. I almost went to an Asheville Tourists game when I was in Asheville last summer<\/a>. I gave it up after spending most of the day hiking and driving, just too tired after being a real tourist to see the baseball Tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crustaceans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A battle of crustaceans might also be amusing. I’m not sure which team would come out on top in a tournament between the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, the Charlotte Stone Crabs or the Lakewood BlueClaws. Maybe the two teams named for Blue Crabs would gang up on the Stone Crabs. It’s hard to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avian<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Beaks and talons would fly if the Nuevo Laredo Owls ever played the Orem Owlz. And no, I didn’t understand why it was Orem Owlz instead of Owls. Maybe the team was trying to connect with a younger demographic although trying a little too hard to be edgy. If that was the case then it fell miserably short when the team announced Caucasian Heritage Night<\/a> in 2015: “Our night was to include Wonder Bread on burgers with mayonnaise, clips from shows like ‘Friends’ and ‘Seinfeld’ and trying to solve the vertical leaping challenge<\/em>.” The Owlz canceled its plans after the inevitable uproar. The Director of Media and Communications resigned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Talk about nuts, what if the Modesto Nuts, Lansing Lugnuts and Wichita Wingnuts all got a chance to play each other? Games could take place at Dunkin’ Donuts Park (the future home of the Hartford Yard Goats — another ridiculously named team).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dogfight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A good dogfight might include any combination of the Portland Sea Dogs, Charleston RiverDogs, Batavia Muckdogs, Glendale Desert Dogs, Lincoln Saltdogs, El Paso Chihuahuas, Erie SeaWolves, Midland RockHounds, or New Jersey Jackals. And a good catfight could include the Carolina Mudcats, Gary SouthShore RailCats, Lynchburg Hillcats, New Hampshire Fisher Cats, Sacramento River Cats, Tri-City ValleyCats, Connecticut Tigers, Kane County Cougars, Lakeland Flying Tigers, Quintana Roo Tigers, or Yucat\u00e1n Lions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

My Favorite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Hillsboro<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There could be only one favorite. Regular 12MC readers wouldn’t be surprised to hear that I preferred the Hillsboro Hops. This was a Single-A team in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon (map<\/a>) affiliated with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Its physical placement on the northern fringe of the Willamette Valley and its location outside of Portland made the name a perfect choice. Portland was famous for its heavy concentration of breweries, and hops were an essential brewing ingredient grown right in the valley. The team’s logo<\/a> literally featured a hop cone wearing a baseball cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
