  • Let's Make a Major League! (Phase IV, Central Division: Team Names)

    After yet another overwhelming voter turnout in Phase III, Alignment #2 was chosen in a veritable landslide as the divisional setup for our brand new MLB. Here's how the team locations will be arranged:

    EASTERN CONFERENCE
    Atlantic Division: Baltimore, Boston, Miami, New York (1), New York (2), Philadelphia, Washington
    Midwest Division: Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Toronto

    WESTERN CONFERENCE
    Central Division: Chicago (1), Chicago (2), Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Minneapolis, St. Louis
    Pacific Division: Denver, Los Angeles (1), Los Angeles (2), Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle

    We had several team names suggested for each location in the nomination phase. Now, in Phase IV of the project, we can vote on which name we like best for each location. I've broken up Phase IV into 4 polls, one for each division, so as not to have a single poll with over 200 options. For each location, choose only one (1) team name, with the exceptions of Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York, for which you must choose two (2) team names. If you don't like any of the names listed for a particular location, you can choose "(other)"; for Chicago, LA, and NY, there are two "(other)" options for if one or both of the team names you like are not listed. In each poll, you should have chosen a total of seven (7) options, no more, no less.

    Note: None of the team nicknames (i.e., the latter part of the team name) in our brand new MLB can be the same as any of the existing MLB team nicknames -- even if the name is being used by a team in a different location. So there can't be a San Francisco Giants, nor can there be a New York Giants, nor can there be a Minnesota Giants.

          St. Louis Arches
          Chicago Wind
          Chicago Illinoians
          Dallas Tornadoes
          Houston Humidity
          Minneapolis Snow

          Holding a pitcher accountable for how many runs his team scores is like holding the designated hitter accountable for how many runs his team allows.

          An individual statistic is meaningful only if it is based strictly on what the player does and not on what the other players on his team do.

          Contrary to what most baseball fans claim, a pitched ball which is hit into play is not a strike.

              How about the Minnesota Piranhas?
              The Mets have the best, smartest fans in baseball.

                No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference. ~Tommy Lasorda

                  Chicago Comets (love the team name)
                  Chicago Fire (after the historic fire)
                  Dallas Tornadoes
                  Houston Hurricnanes (Love the fact you'd get an interstate rivalry out of these two cities, and the names would add to it for me)
                  Kansas City Blues (almost voted Monarchs, can see it winning, kind of like idea of a color though since real life has the Reds))
                  Minneapolis Beagles (Home of the Peanuts cast, and Charles "Sparky" Schulz, Snoopy was a Beagle)
                  St. Louis Stallions (Love the horse name, it's not as tied to a brand to me as Clydesdales so I voted Stallions instead)

                    I'm surprised there haven't been more votes in this series. The only clear winner in this bunch so far looks to be the Kansas City Monarchs. Is anyone else interested in voting?

                      The lack of participation is unfortunate, but not surprising, at least to me. Maybe it's just me, but I think the overall activity on this site has decreased quite a bit lately for some reason.
