331 Baseball Team Names Funny, Clever and Catchy

Major League Baseball teams have long been distinguished by unique nicknames. Some stem from where they’re situated while others simply reflect their uniform color or simply come out of nowhere and stick around before eventually going away again. The process for choosing team nicknames can often take a while with thousands of suggestions being considered before any are finalized; whether based on location, mascots or something else entirely there is always an interesting story behind every baseball team name.

Minor League Baseball team names often stem from unique combinations or city traditions, or can draw upon specific players – like New York’s National League team in 1883 when 6-foot 3-inch 220-pound third baseman Roger Connor earned himself the moniker “the Giant”. Connor quickly established himself on the field as an outstanding presence and the nickname stuck until it moved with them when their franchise moved out West in 1958.

Arizona Diamondbacks Double-A affiliate in Frisco, Texas earns their place on this list thanks to a name most would find odd; The RoughRiders gain entry by extracting two meanings out of Frisco itself as well as alluding to Masters Tournament with their name alone – enough creative thinking for me to place them among my top 10.
