Worcester Gets Pro Baseball Team

I meant to post this earlier but the folks at Baseball Zeitgeist. The team will play in the Can-Am League and will take the place of the Allentown Ambassadors.

The team is holding a naming contest. I would suggest the following:

The Worms - Worcester is also known as Worm-town
The Woo-Rats - that's what many college students call the locals
The Pills - Worcester is birthplace of the birth control pill
The Valentines - Worcester is birthplace of the valentine
The Rockets - home of Robert Goddard and the birthplace of modern rocketry
The Shopping Carts - Worcester is the birthplace of the shopping cart
The Smiley Faces - Worcester is birthplace of the Smiley Face
The H's - Worcester is often mis-spelled as Worchester - get the "H" out of Worcester

My favorite would be the Worcester Ruby Legs. That was the name of the pro team from the 1890's that later became the Philadelphia Phillies. Worcester was also home to the first professional perfect game in baseball history.

Go Ruby Legs!
