In Puerto Rico, the city of Ponce is basically named after the first governor of the island, Juan Ponce de León, so that's why the mascot of the team is León.
Favorite team names in any sport are for local Australian football teams in other countries. That's when you get names like the Leipizig Quokkas or the Fort Lauderdale Fighting Squids.
@@NapTownKid410 Mine's the New York Magpies, which makes slightly less sense (not a ton of magpies in NYC) but whatever. My favorite team in Australia is the GWS Giants but obviously the name "New York Giants" has been taken for a while now...
There are so many collegiate summer teams with fantastic names. I'm partial to the Walla Walla Sweets, but they play in the same league as the infamous Portland Pickles
The only reason I picked the Dinos for my KBO team during COVID was because of the name, good to see it recognized. I went to college in Roswell so I also appreciate hearing about the Invaders as well. No love for the Aquasox? Lol I think in the Alaska Baseball League there are a few that are fun. I'm biased to the Anchorage Glacier Pilots but teams like the Chugach Chinooks, Mat-Su Valley Miners, and the Kenai Peninsula Oilers all have fun names too. The team in Fairbanks is the "Goldpanners" which is unique but they haven't been part of the ABL for a few years.
The Estrella Orientales is one of my favorites from LIDOM. In english it translates to the Eastern Stars. Amazing name, great colors. Just cool as heck.
I❤ MLB; Minor League and International ⚾! The Baseball Team Names are cool...I wish the worldwide Baseball/ Softball Community a happy New Year 🍾! Peter from Switzerland 🇨🇭
I’d say the most interesting baseball team names in Taiwan were the TML teams. There used to be a league named Taiwan Major League that had 4 teams, each with a pretty unique name in aboriginal language and another common name in Chinese. - Taipei Gida/台北太陽（lit. Taipei Sun) - Taichung Agan/台中金剛（lit. Taichung King Kong or Taichung Robots) - Chiayi-Tainan Luka/嘉南勇士（lit. Chia-Nan Warriors) - Kaohsiung-Pingtung Fala/高屏雷公（lit. Kao-Ping Thunder God) I thought naming a team the Thunder God sounds pretty fun.
Canberra Cavalry is a good one but we don't really have cavalry in Australia..we are more known for our Divisions of Light Horsemen as made famous in the World Wars and the Boer War. The early (ABL1.0) Canberra team was the Bushrangers, a relocated Melbourne team. Bushrangers are synonomous with Australian history as with US outlaws. The "Bushies" originally played on the then Bruce (football) Stadium, now home of the Canberra Raiders NRL and ACT Brumbies ARU. Two other good Aussie names are multi ABL Champions Perth Heat (if you've been to Perth you'll understand). The Heat naming is also used now by the Brisbane Heat in Aussie BBL (cricket) tournament where the Perth team is appropriately called the Scorchers. The one I really liked was the Adelaide Bite (now back to Giants). Bite is symbolic given the coastal region in that part of Australia has a brilliant geographical feature called the Great Australian Bight...so it's a good play in words.
Bushrangers is a great name. Canberra should’ve stuck with that. BTW I have been to Perth but not this time of year. End of April and the weather was fantastic
The name of the Queretaro Conspirators of the LMB comes from the beginning of the Mexican war of independence that began to be organized secretly in Queretaro by politicians, soldiers and priests and that movement is known as the Queretaro conspiracy. The silhouette of the man with a bandana in the team logo is reminiscent of a hero of Mexican independence.
It has been quite controversial TBH, oddly enough the other LMB expansion team this year has also historial context in his name. Dorados de Chihuahua named after the Dorados de Villa batallion from the Mexican Revolution in the early 1900s
En la Liga Mexicana del Pacífico, están los nombres más originales posibles. Tomateros (Tomato Growers) Algodoneros (Cotton Growers), Cañeros (Sugar Cane Growers), Naranjeros (Orange Growers), porque la Agricultura es la base económica de esa región y nombres de tribus nativas de la zona como Mayos y Yaquis. Luego están los Venados (Deers) de Mazatlán (nombre de un animal no muy común en el béisbol). Charros (nombre real de los jinetes mexicanos). Los únicos que apestan en la liga son las Águilas de Mexicali, ("águilas" tan genérico). Eso sí son muy originales los de la LMP. No como la Mexicana de Verano con sus nombres más genéricos y más quemados en el beisbol: Leones, Tigres, Toros, Piratas 😴😴😴😴👎🏻👎🏻 Tantos animales únicos que habitan México como Jaguares, Lobos, Coyotes, Ajolotes, Serpientes, tucánes, ocelotes, colibríes, iguanas, un montón de especies de aves. Etc. Para que la aburrida liga mexicana de verano, les pusieran nombres de animales que nisiquiera existen en Mx. Como siempre queriendo copiar a otros equipos más longevos. Como si en el país habitaran los Leones, Tigres o Toros salvajes😂😂😂
Bueno, la LMB es más vieja, algunos equipos son la década de 1920 y tomaron nombres de clubs deportivos amateur que ya existían y/o se copiaron de nombres de equipos de Estados Unidos, cosa que paso en todo el mundo no solo en México, en Japón se copiaron hasta los uniformes (solo hay que comparar el de los Gigantes de Yomiuri con el de los Gigantes de San Francisco o el de los Dragones de Chunichi con el de los Dodgers) pero también hay equipos en LMB como Algodoneros, Olmecas o Rieleros que se parecen a los nombres de la LMP
@@gnoblis no tiene nada que ver eso que dices. Para empezar los equipos mexicanos con nombres de animales comenzaron hasta los 50s, ningún equipo actual de la Mexicana de Verano tiene los años de la fundación de la liga. Si acaso los más viejos, que son los Sultanes empezaron en 1938 (pero como Industriales) de ahí todos los demás de los que existen hoy empezaron hasta los 50s. Ya para ese entonces existían los Tigres del Licey, Leones del Escogido, Leones del Habana, Tigres de Marianao, Leones del Caracas, algunos de esos equipos ya llevaban existiendo por más de 50 años antes de que empezaran a llamarse así los mexicanos. Simplemente los aburridos Leones de Yucatán, empezaron a existir hasta los 70s, los Tigres de México en los 50s, ni hablar de Piratas y Toros que son muy recientes, uno de los 90s y los Toros del 2010. Ya para cuando empezaron a existir esos equipos mexicanos, ya eran de lo más genéricos esos nombres. En los años 20, ningún equipo mexicano tenía nombre de un animal, sino que llevaban el de una empresa o servicio público como El Agraria, el Comintra, Sindicato, Cerveza Moctezuma, Banco de México, Regimiento de Policía, Obras Públicas, Monte de Piedad, etc.
I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon So for many years it was the Portland Beavers until 2010 no more Beavers. Portland has a baseball team in the west coast league college league. The Portland Pickels😮
No mention of the Hartford Yard Goats? The Yard Goats is a reference to a small locomotive used to get the train together. Since Dunkin Donuts Park is built near the railyard, it is a great name. The Mascots are Goats eating baseball bats and they are named Chew Chew (for the sound of a locomotive) and Chompers.
Chillicothe Paints (Ohio) is an interesting name, sorry I cannot remember which league they are in right now. I know you weren’t considering teams that no longer existed, but in the early days of the Frontier League I remembered two teams with interesting names, Zanesville Greys, I not sure of this, but I think they named themselves after the western novel writer Zane Grey, ironically I think he was named after the town, but like I said I am nor sure of that. And then there was Wayne County Coal Sox, in West Virginia.
I feel silly that it took me a couple of minutes to realize it, but once I went "HE'S A CANARY IN A COAL MINE!" I've been enamored with the Charleston Dirty Birds name and logo.
Originally, The Yokohama Baystars were supposed to be the Yokohama Bay Stars, but apparently the concept of placing Bay after the city name was unfamiliar with the Japanese.

Třebíč has the name Nuclears because of the nearby power plant!
How very Springfield
Muy original el nombre Nucleares 👍🏻👍🏻
What? No mention of the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp or the Amarillo Sod Poodles?
I liked the SK Wyverns. No body uses the Wyverns as a mascot
True
Bro you are my entertainment. Straight up. I oove your content and i love the hyper focus on all things baseball. Thank you do much my friend. 🤝💪🔥
Frontier league had one of my favourite team names even if its defunct. The Ottawa Fat Cats. The perfect name for the capitals team 😂

I live in Maryland right between the Washington Eagles and Baltimore Dockers. Both names make perfect since.

Venados de Mazatlan the best name in the world
LMP team name is very unique. Among them, i love tomateros cuz i love 🍅
As a Lansing Lugnuts supporter, I'm glad to see others appreciate their name.
In the American association there was the amarillo thunderheads before they merge with the airhogs
