Swans is definitely an interesting name for an SF team but I like it! What team should be next?

And also, I figured I'd pay some tribute to Aussie Rules Football's influence on Driveball.

And now, two for the price of one...

The Los Angeles Jaguars, who will play their home games at the Coliseum...

And the Washington Commanders, who will play at Griffith Stadium...

Two returning teams from the old thread eh? Fans of both their identity’s

The Minnesota Shockers will play their home games temporarily at Nicollet Park. Should the Shockers prove viable, they could move into a newer ballpark being built in Bloomington in 1956.

Just a question, how does wheat represent Shockers?

The basic way to explain it is that shocking grain is a way for it to be stood up in a pile without the head, the most important part of a grain, touching the ground. Those piles are called shocks.
