Commissioner, Rob “Bucky Splits” Manfred, talked about expansion in the MLB on Thursday. Las Vegas looks like a possible destination. “If we were looking at relocation,” Manfred said, “Las Vegas would be on the list.”
Here a few ideas for a team:
The Las Vegas Bryce Harpers
Bryce Harper is most famous for growing up in Las Vegas. Put a franchise there and instead of that young franchise having to dish out almost a half a billion dollars to get Bryce Harper in free-agency, name the team after him for a discounted rate on his salary. Seems fair.
The Las Vegas Street Walkers
Las Vegas is known for their light-filled boulevards. With every casino, restaurant and club within walking distance, and with the weather usually so nice in the area, a lot of people choose to walk the streets. Every fan will leave satisfied when they attend a Las Vegas Street Walkers game.
The Las Vegas Degenerate Gamblers
This name rolls right off the tongue. It also creates a connection with a ton of people in the area. This sense of kindred with the team will bring in a bunch of fans. Good news, you can bet on the games right at the stadium!
