You'll get used to it....Lehigh Valley (Phillies AAA) team is the Iron Pigs, and after the initial shock, everyone got used to the name.

As someone who doesn't live in Fort Wayne; I can say, I kinda like the angry apple. I liked Wizards better; but I don't think Tin Caps is so bad. Then again, I thought Lugnuts and Iron Pigs were cool names. Maybe it is just me.

Yea,,, I agree [for the most part], especially if you consider how many Cardinals, Eagles, Cougars, Lions, etc. are out there. to have unique, interesting, and fun names . Just in the case of Tin Caps, lol, just a bit of a stretch to make that connection - but, once a person does, like ya said, it brings some richness to it all.

I was thinking of using Parkview Field in the off time for maybe for a kids with special needs league. The Special Needs kids at my school tour the place, and are SO impressed. If not Parkview, maybe Carrington...Let me know your thoughts.

I assume Johnny Appleseed walked around with an old tin pot on his head then?

I actually kind of like it, along with the Lug Nuts, Iron Pigs, and Las Vegas 51's (as in Area 51). They are definitely unique and location specific.

Get your 51's Alien Head mascot merchandise now, apparently they are planning to change the name soon.
