Is this the greatest name for a team in the history of sports?

We say yes!

Thanks to an online vote, the Mobile BayBears, the Double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, will change its name to the Rocket City Trash Pandas when the club relocates to Madison, Ala. in 2020.

Trash panda is a cooler name for a raccoon, for all of you who had to look it up (like us ....)

Other contenders were Comet Jockeys, Moon Possums, Space Chimps and Thundersharks.
