Fantasy Baseball Team Name Contest: Wussiest

Men should have manly team names. (Women don’t need to…their mere presence in a fantasy league commands respect and intimidates male owners. Sexist as it may sound, we still hate to lose to a “girl.”) Real baseball teams have macho names….like “Angels” and “Cardinals.” Uh, sorry, let me disregard the lame MLB names and start over with minor-league teams. “Muckdogs,” “Mudcats,” “Snappers,” “RoughRiders,” “Fisher Cats,” “Crosscutters,” “Sea Dogs”…. Ah, that is more like it!

Point is, you can’t join a league and name your team “Autumn Leaves” (as one owner in a league of mine actually did). If you do, we reserve the right to enter that name in this contest to be ridiculed by the world!

So, if you know of an extraordinarily wimpy team name, enter it in comments by April 30. I’ll subsequently choose finalists to be voted on by Roto Rebel readers.

• Most Clever
• Most Humorous
• Most Intimidating
• Most Tasteless (While Still Being Acceptable for Publication)
• Best Incorporation of a Player’s Name
• Most Mailed in like James Caan in Elf
• All-Around Lamest
