Baseball: Should the A's Become the Las Vegas Aces?

[Meathead]

Think about it. The A's were originally the Philadelphia Athletics, moved to KC and became the A's. They kept moving and went to Oakland, but it was too much of a shithole and want to move to Las Vegas but are spending 3 years in Sacramento since they don't have anywhere to play in Vegas.

In view of all this, wouldn't the Las Vegas Aces be a better name for this wondering Gypsy team?

No, they were the Athletics well into the 1940s I think.

Really? The Athletics?

 

[roderick]

There should be a team in Las Vegas. They have the population. They have the fan support. It only makes sense that a team in a shithole city should move there.

As far as nicknames. There are some really good ones in the minors, but a lot of bad ones. One of the worst I saw is Sand Gnats. Sand Gnats. About as low on the food chain as you can get.

How about the Beetle Dung Eaters? That actually would be a good name for the Rockies this year.

Didn’t help Redskins or Cleve Indians. Just don’t. Don’t start with it.

Teams move, players move, zero loyalty, no integrity, $50million pitchers seldom pay off, Pulos, Freeman leave, Soto reported not hustling? Even in plays he should. Boring, slow. Like NBA, regular season has becime unwatchable.

I'm a Phillies fan and I'm having a great time!

I understand that it'll take at least 2 more years to build.

Again, 162 game regular season. Yawning more.

Wake me up last 7 games when WC races begin. I used to be an MLB lifer. Strike 94’ soured me first. Off/on since.

I remember WC AZ knocked off PHI recently? LA finally spent enough to squeak out a title. Not impressed.

No

I prefer the Athletics

No, two years ago in the NLC series. Got knocked off by the NY Mets last year.

the names already taken....

Harry Dresden is right.

The Reno Aces are the Diamondbacks' Triple-A minor league team.

If the A's name wasn't taken, I would have liked that name for Cleveland when they were considering a change. From its founding in 1796 to 1836 the name of the city was Cleaveland and this would have found a place for the missing "A". The name Indians didn't do much for me, I like that the Guardians is more representative of the city.

I didn’t mind the name Indians but Chief Wahoo creeped me out
