Insomniacs Love Name-the-Team
We launched the "Name the Team" contest at 12:01 Monday morning, and the entries keep rolling in. So far, we have nearly 500 entries, and over 200 unique names.
But here's the weird part... since we've launched the contest, we have received entries in 51 of the 61 hours the contest has been up. Yesterday morning, we had one entry at 4:27 a.m. Just this morning, we had an entry at 1:40...
And yet, nobody has submitted "Red Eyes" or "Sheep Counters" yet. Odd.
I can't enter the name contest because I don't live in Nevada or California. Weird rule, but whavever.
I can, however, have an opinion. Mine is that the team should be named the Reno Spikes. My idea merges baseball shoes with the railroad passing nearby and that has been so key to Reno history. The Spikes!
The name would allow for a great mascot, a bulldog train engineer named, what else, Spike!
Yes, there's a class A short season team in Pennsylvania called the State College Spikes. So what?
Go Spikes!
