Same goes for the Giants, which used to play in the Polo Grounds, the second weirdest park (after Ebbets Field) in the majors at the time. It was virtually impossible to hit a home run out of center field (although it was easy for Willie Mays to catch a ball there that would have been an impressive homer anywhere else). It was a piece of cake to hit one down the lines in left or right. You could literally flip the Yankees the bird from the upper deck of the Polo Grounds. Have the Giants won a World Series since? No.
Then there are the L.A. Lakers. Why are they called the Lakers? Because they originally came from Minneapolis, the "Land of 10,000 Lakes." There aren't any lakes in L.A. that you'd want to go fishing in.
So yeah, teams with obsolete nicknames suck the big one. At least the Ravens didn't settle for being the Baltimore Browns.

Not good to break your face and be seen yelling at your coach all the time during a contract year.
Sincerely,

What he's not telling you is that he cribbed this line from page 142 of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Running an Incest and Molestation-based Cult.
