Four proposed name changes for the Cincinnati Reds

If you have looked around the baseball universe recently, you might have seen more than a few unfamiliar faces. The Akron Rubber Ducks, the Daytona Tortugas, the Hartford Yard Goats. Minor-league franchises have made a push to bring their clubs into the new millennium with fun and exciting rebrandings that appeal to the new generation of baseball fans. The Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, Montgomery Biscuits, Pensacola Blue Wahoos. New mascots and logos bring a fresh look and feel that shows people that baseball can be fun again. The Richmond Flying Squirrels, Vermont Lake Monsters, and, hopefully, the Staten Island Pizza Rats.
