Fantasy Baseball Team Names




Hey Everyone,

I am trying to come up with a good team name for fantasy baseball this year.  I usually seem to figure something out given news stories or other baseball drama (for instance last year I was My Cousin Yuri) but there really hasn't been a whole lot this offseason.  Also, if possible I'd like to link it to my Braves since everyone I play with apparently has bad taste in teams.  If anyone has any ideas please reply with them.  I figured this may help fellow fantasy players pick their names as well. Thanks

There you go, I just summed up about 80% of the responses you may very well receive.

Be creative and make it your own, it’s more fun that way.

i gotta stop reading this site at work….things like this make me laugh out loud and look dumb while so…

Pujols is NOT God.... sure he'll hit .350, hit 50 bombs, and drive in a 125....but then again...so will Heyward..

I spend about as much time thinking up my name as I do drafting. Here is a list I have used in recent years. Some people may find some of these offensive

Honey Nut Ichiros
Nomar Mr Nice Guy
Rafael Palmeroids
New York Knights
Thorman’s Mormons
God Doumit!
Jeff Failcouer
Escobar’s Raft Riders
Lemmer’s Lemmings
Papelbon Apetit
Barry’s Bail Bonds

Hahahaha classic. I may use one of those. Ok with you?

i need a clever signature

Honey Nut Ichiros was the name of the league i was in last year.

The base paths belonged to me, the runner. The rules gave me the right. I always went into a bag full speed, feet first. I had sharp spikes on my shoes. If the baseman stood where he had no business to be and got hurt, that was his fault. -Ty Cobb

I try to stay with current happenings as well. The past two years I have been: Kerry Wood’s Hot Tub, Frenchy’s Millions, and I stole mine this year from one of our own posters, The Heymakers

by Bmacbandwagon on Mar 10, 2010 3:05 PM EST reply actions  

I was thinking about using the Heymakers one.

My friend has Coyote Ugglas. Which I found humorous.

What about:

-WORLD DOMINATION
-Jason_Heyward_is_God

Of course, those are my team names on mlb.com fantasy. But you could use all or no caps.

The only time the Mets win is in the offseason.

“Off Daily”

That way, if I win=cool.

If I lose, the other team says “I beat off daily!”

I still win.

My fantasy basketball team (which is horrible, btw) is called Dunder Mifflin.

"My team of nine guys who hit like Albert Pujols and never ever bunt just beat your team with one Shane Victorino 472 to 3."

Did you know that Mifflin killed himself? Learned the other night. Awesome show.

I’m most likely going to do an all pitchers league with a group of friends. Any ideas on names?

Off topic on Mueller...

…playing one of the baseball games from a few years ago (can’t remember which one) every time Mueller would come to the plate the announcers would say “this guy will never win any batting titles”, and I’m pretty sure that same year he went on to win one. Always cracked me up whenever I would play it during the offseason

+1 on Logan’s Chafer. I like that one a lot

I’m using “McCann/Palin 2012” right now. The reference is lost on college kids my age which is scary. Others to consider: Chipper Tooth, McClouth Nine, Yunel, I come
