CBSSports.com has put out a list of the 200 most popular fantasy baseball team names for the 2010 fantasy baseball season. The winner this year is Evil Empire. Movie references always make for great names, as evidenced by the fact that Chico’s Bail Bonds and the Bad News Bears both cracked the top 15, while a number of other references were spread throughout the top 200.
Surprisingly, a current news or scandal reference really did not crack the list. How did Tiger Woods themed names not even crack the top 200? There are plenty of BALCO Bombers and HGH themed teams, but no Tiger’s Harem or Elin’s Revenge? I find this omission remarkable. Or, maybe fantasy baseball players don’t care about Tiger?
CBSSports.com compiled this list by sampling the approximate 1,000,000 teams currently hosted on its fantasy baseball commissioner.
My biggest complaint about this list is not with the list, but how unoriginal can some people be? The number six team on the list is the Yankees or New York Yankees? Really, that’s the best someone can do? Short of trying to piss of a Red Sox fan in your league, that just lacks any creativity. I would call on league members to vote these members out of their league.
If you want a chuckle, take a look at the complete list of 200 names.
