Re: Swamp Out of the Park Baseball Challenge 2017 *New Poll - Team Name*

Still need a tie-breaker vote on the team name. Once we have that, will move on to the uniform colors.

Re: Swamp Out of the Park Baseball Challenge 2017 *New Poll - Team Name*

So it sounds like the opinion is trending toward having just a single team and making full use of the farm system.

By the way, after 24 responses the name poll is currently a four-way tie between Frogs, Swamp Foxes, Sealfisters and Meat Gayzers.

Re: Swamp Out of the Park Baseball Challenge 2017 *New Poll - Team Name*

If we're in Burlington, where do our brothers play? Need to know for emailing purposes. Second place in the home city poll was a tie between Kalamazoo (MI) and Athens (OH). So, we can start another team one of those places, or else late joiners get sent down to our AAA Burlington (NJ) Coat Factories.

Burlington was pulling away with the lead, so that will be our home. New poll up for the team name.

And OK, yes, I didn't include Coat Factory. That can be our AAA team, based in our NJ namesake, where the players can dress head to toe in dog fur-lined FUBU. Happy?

By the way, the cities that don't win will still show up somewhere in our minor league system or as the other teams in the league.

Still taking suggestions for the team name. Don't worry about whether it makes sense within the context of the home city--really, the less sense it makes, the better.

I want to put at least one Florida option in the poll, but having a hard time settling on one.
