I submitted The Hartford Twainiacs.

I guess that was too smartish of an option.
 
On the baseball board I stated that a fusion of the Colorado Rockies and Hartford should yield:

the Hartford Mile High Hookers

Can you think of a worse listing of possible names?

Hedgehogs
Honey Badgers
Hound Dogs
Blue Frogs
Choppers
Praying Mantis
River Hogs
Screech Owls
Whirlybirds
Yard Goats

I would hate to see what the other 5990 options were that had been discarded for these ten.

The Hartford Segarra's, a tribute to the mayor who brokered this deal and set in motion an economic recovery for Hartford.

In MVP Baseball 2005's Dynasty Mode, the default rosters featured one "Dick Smallenberg" on the Yankees' AA team. Would be perfect with this crew.

I thought yard goats was the stupidest of the all the stupid names on the original list so I figured hey, if we are gonna go with a stupid name, let's go as stupid as possible. I think everyone voting for yard goats, except the person who submitted the name, probably felt the same.

We'll name the team after the nickname for the greatest American muscle car. Makes about as much sense for hartford as naming it after a railroad engine.

Don't make fun of Hartford's illustrious railroad history! (Other than the fact that we have a useless train station I didn't know we had a history in railroad.)

Choppers is the best name I've heard. Is there any local significance to Yard Goats?

Nope. Well, supposedly, but not that anyone other than the submitter of the name can explain. But the possibilities for scoreboard animation are endless.
 
We'll know today.

Kids love hedgehogs nowadays. But I like curried goat.

Except for the little fact that choppers, or helos (as we call them in the Navy) are manufactured in Stratford, not Hartford.

Kaman is in Bloomfield.
 
Yeah, it has to be the Yard Goats, although I would have loved the Hartford Direwolves as well...
