Baby Cakes?

What's that name about?

I have 3 of the hottest tickets in Nashville to see the Sounds vs. the NO Baby Cakes on Saturday...not-so-subtle brag.


Oh lawd, I hope I don't witness the Sounds get beaten by the Baby Cakes.

People in NOLA are literally killing each other at record rates because of it.

Everybody assumed it was a bad joke. It's really unfathomable why a for-profit company that relies on ticket and merchandise sales would do something so unpopular.

This is King Cake Baby...no relation to Baby Cakes. He is a pels mascot. Hate when people associate him with the baseball team. His creepiness is solely for the terrible NBA

My thing is that I grew up around new orleans and don't recall ever hearing a king cake called a baby cake.

Apparently its a term used for small king cakes that no one in New Orleans had literally ever heard.

Same. That's why I really love the logos. Someone wrote up an article on where baby cake comes from but I think it's stupid because no one from Nola actually uses the term.

They'd have done better to name the team Mosquitoes. There's really not a worse team name than Baby Cakes. Rougarou would have been perfect for a minor league baseball team.

I keep waiting for Boudreaux's Butt Paste to buy stadium naming rights. It would be fitting.

ETA: They currently have the PCL's worst record at 23-42...so it appears that the organization puts as much work into their product as their name brand.

Totally crude parody of the NOLA culture probably chosen by no real New Orleanian with neither understanding of, nor appreciation for real New Orleans people.

Stupid re-branding that all minor league teams do in an attempt to stay relevant

Horrible name that won't save the franchise. They are still in the bottom 5 in attendance

I can't believe they wasted an opportunity to use that.
