simpsontide Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 http://www.bizofbaseball.com/index.php?opt...2&Itemid=56Personally I don't like pro sports team to be named after a state. I would like to see the Twins be the Minneapolis- St Paul Twins and the Marlins be the Miami Marlins,etc.. The only team that the state name works well is the Colorado Rockies.

That fits rather well with the law enforcement agency.That's the one that works best to my mind.But the Rocky Mountains exist in more than just Denver, though.Heck, they exist in more than just Colorado, for that matter. Only a relatively small stretch of the Rockies lie within the square borders of the Centennial State. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

McCall Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Miami Marlins...hmm. I don't like itI guess after having been Florida for their whole existence, it'd take some getting used too. And it does kind of have a Minor League feel to it. But in the end, I think it'd be alright.

Don Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 the rocky mountains actually lie west of denver, as denver itself lies on a plain.

TruColor Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 the rocky mountains actually lie west of denver, as denver itself lies on a plain. I can certainly vouch for that, since I JUST walked back from my back deck from lookin' at 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't object to this change.Whether it's Miami Marlins or Florida Marlins, they will still only get 18k per game if they build the stadium on the Orange Bowl site. Traffic will be horrendous. As for the name, the Angels have been in their 46 year existence; Los Angeles Angels, California Angels, Anaheim Angels & the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and nobody blinked. If the city is making the name change a requirement so that they pony up more money, so be it. Personally, I liked the blue and orange throwback uni's that they wore a few years ago.

dirwuf Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 According to "Back To The Future II" there is a Miami team, who the Cubs beat in the 2015 World Series. So re-alignment can't be too far off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
