Driveman called Babycakes awhile back. He knows.

Utterly terrible and ridiculous.

They also just changed their name. They were the Jacksonville Suns for forever.

Our summer league team from 6th to 10th grade were the Mudhens. I really liked that team.

Jumbo Shrimp > Baby Cakes

But geez. I get that they wanted to follow in the Hornets footsteps and rename the team to something thats more New Orleans themed, but Baby Cakes isn't exactly something I think of as a NOLA thing.

I know they were the Denver Zephyrs before moving to NOLA, but their marketing department could've easily done some work to tie the baseball team name to the old Zephyr roller coaster from Pontchartrain Beach and make Zephyrs NOLA connection that way.

why don't they just name these things something matching the MLB club?

I mean isn't the Cardinals' AAA team the Red Birds?

Yes, and they have a nice stadium in downtown Memphis. Saw 8-2/3 no-hit innings there a few summers ago.

so name the team something to match The Marlins. Keep that name no matter which city they're in.
