THERE'S ONLY ONE WORSE THING THAN A NICKNAME THAT IS CUTE, AND IT'S ONE THAT'S CUDDLY: Hot Stove action -- THT's Chris Jaffe ranks MLB franchises on the quality of their nicknames, while Larry Grannilo assesses their stadium statuary (and, on that basis, Rob Neyer suggests what statues various stadiums should add).
Isaac will be amused that his Mariners placed first in one list, and last in the other.
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim needed to be much lower on that list.
ReplyDeleteOn the quality of the nickname list, that is.
ReplyDeleteRanking last in sports art is like ranking first in art. So yay Mariners, double winners.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but the Sox should rank over the Red Sox purely on the Red Sox ripping off their nickname. Also, both are still better than "Cubs" (or god forbid, "Cubbies").
