    And keep in mind within this concept that MLB a lot of these "leftover" teams will end up in the "Dream League" pool where undrafted players would play. Which is also, itself would be a pretty firm attack on Indy ball as it exists now.

    I don't know that Deadspin readers are all that loyal to any particular writers but I would expect they're loyal to the tone/voice/ethos/whatever you want to call it of Deadspin.

    The thing that always kills me about Rays attendance is that their local TV numbers are fine, so it's not like they're completely unsupported.

    Seems like they're setting up a race between the two cities- first one to budge and actually build a ballpark gets the team. Ever innovative, the Rays have moved to squeezing 2 cities at once.

    Reference to the NDY statues the tourism folks put up around town a few years ago, but it doesn't quite look right in this application. https://www.visitindy.com/indianapolis-ndy

    Now imagine if the name wasn't galactically stupid. Prairie Dogs? Nah, gotta put a twist on it for no actual reason.

    Fatbacks does flow better. The downside is lack of staying power- they'll just change the name in a few years when the food name trend is over and merch isn't moving as well.

    But what is the right uniform for Kurt Russell?

    Looks it's just a good old fashioned Indy League play for attention. But a damn good one. Cards Against Humanity Saves Baseball

    Ok, I see the perspective now. Don't really agree with it because the entire relationship is open and no one is actually being dishonest about or obscuring the relationships between the ML and Minor team. And the relationship between the customer and the team is independent of the affiliation. People buying tickets don't care who's stocking the roster. They're supporting the local baseball business, and like knowing there's going to be a couple guys on the field who'll actually make it to the Majors. Given the periodic churn of affiliation,there's an argument that local ownership/naming is actually more honest by projecting more accurate level of permanence to the local team.than naming based on the ML organization. The existence of the team isn't predicated on the affiliation. Just because the Pirates aren't going to be affiliated with the Small City Donut Bunnies anymore, the operation will continue to exist, but with Brewers players. In the end, I'll take the less sterile path.

    Why is that desirable at all? I guess from a top-down perspective it makes it easy to identify, but you only really need to pay attention to where your favorite team has affiliates. It's not like being able to glance at minor league standings and know whose team is what tells you anything remotely useful about other teams' player development. Meanwhile for minor league owners it has to help to have a little local identification for the team, and sell a little merch along the way while affiliation agreements are on 2 year cycles (though everyone involved prefers stability there). I can't figure out how there is any actual benefit for anyone to this thing you think is optimal and just results in a very sterile baseball world.

    Ready to play opening day. And pretty much any other game, tbh

    At the start of every season they're going to have to explain this to the team because I'd guess half the roster would call them the Strippers otherwise.

    He had more of his peak in the Black Jays, but other than the #52, I'm not totally sold on the wrongness of those for Halladay. He had his breakthrough and first Cy Young in those uniforms before the change.

    Haaave you met Ted?

    Was this the one? March Madness by Avalon Hill I had this. A good chunk of paper route money went to various Avalon Hill sports games. Statis Pro Baseball, Superstar Baseball, Statis Pro Basketball, and Bowl Bound.

    The Trappers and HorseHeads have affiliated minor league quality logos in a summer college league universe where I basically expect clip art.
  21. RichO
    Yep. I got hung up on the 30 and ignored the obvious.

    My brain went to early career Sheed. But WSU set me straight below.

    Cast my vote for Buttons on the off chance they care about the votes. Even plugged in a local zip in case they bother to check that.
  24. RichO
    Anything but red or white is wrong on MJ. Also, that the shorts didn't have the diamond was an egregious error.

    The wrongest Laettner jersey of them all.
