If there’s one thing minor league baseball has in spades, it’s bizarre team names.
There’s the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, the Hartford Yard Goats, the El Paso Chihuahuas and, of course, the Albuquerque Isopes of “Simpsons” fame.
Soon, the Milwaukee Brewers’ new Pioneer League affiliate in Colorado Springs — which replaces the Milwaukee Brewers’ Triple-A Sky Sox next spring — will be added to the list.
Fans have been asked to select one from five, uh, unique team names proposed by the Sky Sox and Elmore Sports Group. All five are meant to honor the unique people, places and things that make up Colorado Springs.
