Whittier S Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'm working on a series, and I'm stumped on naming teams for some of my cities. This is a minor baseball league with a mix of more and less traditional names. The cities I need help with are:Fresno, CAGreenville, SCBaton Rouge, LAAugusta, GAMadison, WIAny and all suggestions appreciated--I've been stumped for the longest time! Thanks!

Blackhawks#9 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Baton Rouge Copperheads and Greenville Rebels maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansas sports fan Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Fresno Blaze, Madison Stampede(rs); I'm not really sure on the others, I like Blackhawks#9 suggestions.*EDIT* Maybe Augusta Masters(for the golf tournament) would work. Acts 16:31 - And they replied: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household."John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life."John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxColonels Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Please not mudbugs. I've lived in Louisiana my entire life (New Orleans, Thibodaux and Baton Rouge) and have never heard anyone use the term. I suggest Kingfish. It was the nickname of governor Huey Long and was the name of the minor league hockey franchise in the 90s. Not sure you can find a name more "Baton Rouge" than Kingfish would be.
