Team name of the week

As much as I love going to games up there, I think the "Reading Phillies" leaves something to be desired. Yes, it's easy to identify for whom they are the farm team, but it is rather boring.

Lacks the romance of the "Albuquequerque Isotopes" and the "Inland Empire 66ers of San Bernadino" or even the "Toledo Mud Hens" so adored by Corporal Klinger in M*A*S*H.

And as far as high school team names went ... my High School was "The Trojans."

We took a lot of ribbing.

But not as much as the class of '69.

Not surprising that my college years were spent amongs the Golden Rams, is it?
