Team Selection

There are two leagues, as said earlier, the Pacific Division and the Atlantic Division, each with five teams. First come, first serve. If you plan on getting a team, making logos, and never contributing to the site, please don't. I want all owners to be involved. The requirements you need to meet are:

- City chosen must have a ballpark in use by a Triple-A or Double-A team, an MLB Spring Training facility, a ballpark no longer in use by the MLB, or a known stadium that has been converted to baseball before. Outdoor ballparks MUST be in locations where it does not snow.

- We are looking for teams with names similar to that of the minor leagues, but any can be submitted for approval.

Team names, locations, stadiums, etc. can be submitted in the comments, and they will be reviewed by the executives and either be approved or denied. Approved teams will be added to the list.

Pacific Division

- Twin Cities Franchise - Minneapolis, MN - HHH Metrodome - TC
- Sacramento Solons - Sacramento, CA - Raley Field - bonehedz
- El Paso Stars - El Paso, TX - Cohen Stadium - NEP
- Loros de Monterrey - Monterrey, MX - Estadia de Beisbol Monterrey - BJBerthiaume
- Hawaii Franchise - Halawa CDP, HI - Aloha Stadium- sizemorematters

Atlantic Division

- Orlando Juicers - Orlando, FL - Champion Stadium - Mykl
- Alabama Franchise - Birmingham, AL - Regions Park - Big Mike
- New Orleans Waves - New Orleans, LA - Zephyr Field - bmac25
- San Juan Saints - San Juan, PR - Hiram Bithorn Stadium - joshhockey
-

Alright, go.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Your team is submitted for review and we will discuss it.

    ReplyDelete
  7. uhhh I told you I want a team in Alabama, and Im going to be a co-comish if you want so I dont know why you have that as pending, just cause Im gone for a couple days doesnt mean Im backing out. If anyone has suggestions for a team name you can fire but I will certainly not be called the Juicers :P lol.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Well you haven't seen my uniforms.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Team name: Sacramento Solons
    City: Sacramento, California
    Stadium: Raley Field (14,111)

    (I picked Sacramento because the RiverCats are arguably the best team in the minor leagues-both on and off the field-plus the Solons name has history there

    ReplyDelete
  10. Baton Rouge Red Sticks: Sorry, denied. Voted down 2-1. If we let you get away with a college stadium, then we have to let everybody.

    Sacramento Solons: Approved.

    Big Mike: Are you applying or not?

  11. Location: Pearl, Mississippi
    Name: Mississippi Loggers
    Stadium: Trustmark Park (5,500)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Alrighty then now that Baton Rouge is out of the picture I will create the

    El Paso TBA's to play out of Cohen Stadium 9725

    ReplyDelete
  13. NEP, El Paso has been submitted for review, and so has Beast Mode's.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Location: Monterrey, Mexico
    Nickname: Loros de Monterrey (Monterrey Parrots) named after the maroon-fronted parrot found in the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains in Monterrey.
    Colors: Maroon, lime green, red (colors of the maroon-fronted parrot)
    Stadium: Estadio de Beisbol Monterrey (27,000)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Mississippi Loggers: Voted down. Stadium isn't what we are looking for and the name is incredibly dull. Change it up.

    El Paso Franchise: Approved!

    Loros de Monterrey: Approved!

    ReplyDelete
  16. BJB, I say... You should have pinstripes, and ads on your jersey, haahha.

    ReplyDelete
  17. No love for the Atlantic League? I mean yeah, Mykl is in it, but he's not that bad.

    ReplyDelete
  18. TC I have told you 90000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times that Im going to have a team.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I fuckin' know this. Why don't you apply for a damn team and make it official then?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Location: Metairie, Louisiana
    Name: New Orleans Demons
    Stadium: Zephyr Field (10,000)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Anybody got a background check on this droozer fellow?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yes, please tell me of your other qualifications.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Well you see, the exec's talked it over and you aren't a proven member on the boards. 11 posts and 2 months of membership is not what we are looking for. We are gonna let the regulars have the chance to get a team first. Then if there are any left you might get a chance at a team. Plus, you don't even know the secret handshake.

    ReplyDelete
  24. The El Paso franchise will be called the stars

    I should have some uniforms by the end of the night.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Stars is okay I guess. But there's no rush on the uniforms and logos, you have pleeenty of time.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Stars? What about something to do with like the rio grande, or in spanish.

    MIchael on a friend's account btw

    ReplyDelete
  27. No more Spanish, we already have one team using that confusing crap.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I named them the Stars because of the Star on the Mountain it's the worlds largest luminated star at night

    ReplyDelete
  29. Alright I'll take a shot at this. How about Clearwater, FL Brighthouse field. Team name TBD.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Overruled. Stay out of Florida, trying to spread the teams out.

    ReplyDelete
  31. How about a team in Altoona Pennsilvania, playing out of Blair County Ballpark?

    ReplyDelete
  32. I was thinking of something colonial for the name.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Lame. Still.

    It snows there too.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yeah, that won't work either, because of snow. Also, I'm looking for more well-known cities. If it weren't for the Curve, I would have never heard of Altoona, and it wasn't until now that I learned it was in Pennsylvania.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I just really like that ballpark. I understand though. Any suggestions?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Little Rock?
    Dickey-Stephens Park (5,800)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Okay, here's the deal. Sizemore contacted me on Facebook and he wants a team in Hawaii. Now obviously Mike and I vote yes for Hawaii and no for Arkansas. I mean, what's better for the league, Hawaii or Arkansas? Hawaii. Soooo... Hawaii: Approved! The Pacific League is now filled.

    ReplyDelete
  38. what the hell? Little Rock? Really?

    mykl btw

    ReplyDelete
  39. Yeah it sucked, but it was denied so quit yer bitchin'

    ReplyDelete
  40. Like Birmingham is much better...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Well the metropolitan area is 500k people smaller than the Birmingham-Hoover area, and doubles Little Rock's stadium size. So yeah, it is better.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Umm it is Beast, Hoover is actually a nice area, with no ghettos and its a very rich town, the stadium seats TWICE as much as Little Rocks. Its alot better.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Anyone else have any ideas for me?

    ReplyDelete
  44. How about Richmond Virgina, Playing out of The Diamond (12,000+).

    ReplyDelete
  45. Richmond was voted down 2-0, it does snow there. How about.. Charlotte?

    ReplyDelete
  46. What about Columbia, SC and Capital City Stadium

    ReplyDelete
  47. Cap City stadium is pretty run down. Been there before.

    Kevin text me, I have some ideas.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Can I put a team in Conway, South Carolina? The Coastal Carolina baseball team plays at Vrooman Field at Charles L. Watson Stadium. My other option would be in New Orleans, at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium, home of the Tulane baseball team.

    ReplyDelete
  49. ^^^ Too small. The conway stadium is only 2k. AA(in large markets), and AAA ball stadiums are the best.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Agreed. How about New Orleans, at Zephyr Field, home of the AAA New Orleans Zephyrs?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Well it is like on the Mississippi. The east side...

    Tc? I approve.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Why not use BB&T Coastal Field in Myrtle Beach?

    ReplyDelete
  53. New Orleans approved, but goddam that is practically on top of the Mississippi.

    And Mykl, you're not the one to be telling people what they can and can't do, after all you're only the third vote if needed.

    ReplyDelete
  54. My first option for the New Orleans franchise is the New Orleans Waves. I already have colors picked out, but the name can be changed if needed.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Well, if you saw he wanted a stadium with 2k seats in a small SC city, you would've shot it down.

    Your team should be the Hurricanes bMac :D

    ReplyDelete
  56. Ya that was on my list, but I didn't want to cause any problems. Haha.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I'm not a fan of waves as a team from New Orleans.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Location: San Juan, Puerto Rico
    Team Name: Santos de Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico Saints) or Santos de San Juan (San Juan Saints)
    Stadium: Hiram Bithorn Stadium (18,000)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Yeah Mykl well me and Mike wanted a team is SC or NC. And fuck Spanish names, one is enough.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Alright now we need everyones color schemes so we don't have like three teams with the same colors.

    Twin Cities Divers are black, powder blue and graphite.

    ReplyDelete
  61. New Orleans Franchise Colors: green, black, and sky blue.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Is San Juan Saints alright? Not en espanol.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Me gusta. Approved.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Dude Kevin PLEASE do my idea that I told you about.

    But Green, Urnge, and Sand.

    ReplyDelete
  65. What's wrong with the Waves as the name of the New Orleans franchise?

    ReplyDelete
  66. I actually like Hurricanes better but you can have waves.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Hurricanes is ok, but I wanted to use something a little more unique. Waves it is then I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Well what about something swamp-y or like voodoo-y

    ReplyDelete
  69. Wow... New Orleans Hurricanes... Sounds a lot like the Baton Rouge Hurricanes... my idea for my MLF team that Mykl shot down...

    ReplyDelete
  70. Okay, thanks for sharing, bye!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Hawaii will be aqua, orange, and black!

    ReplyDelete
  72. lmao and they'll be called the Tropics too, right?

    ReplyDelete
  73. Nah, maybe the Pacifics or Islanders.

    ReplyDelete
  74. ok there's one spot left. if there isn't anyone else you know will want it can I take the team?

    ReplyDelete
  75. The San Juan Saints shall be navy, light blue, and golden yellow. I've spent a few hours on the logos and am working on the unis right now. Its turning out pretty well.

    ReplyDelete
  76. San Juan's logos and uniforms are almost done. I've had absolutely nothing to do the last two days so I decided to work on it.

    ReplyDelete
  77. droozer, I'm pretty sure Kevin's going to apply. But you can just in case.

    ReplyDelete
  78. thanks
    Memphis louisville or Charlotte whichever snows the least. or I could go with Bermuda. any suggestions?

    ReplyDelete
  79. scratch Bermuda. it doesn't have a stadium

    ReplyDelete
  80. Alright I want charlotte memphis or nashville, what do you guys think?

    ReplyDelete
  81. Charlotte! It's the farthest south. And they're building a new stadium in downtown Charlotte, so we can say you play there.

    ReplyDelete
  82. we can't say that actually.

    ReplyDelete

    Memphis Franchise
    Auozone Park
    also is there any chanvhe for an expansion? just wondering. that would be awesome

    ReplyDelete
  85. 1.763% chance of an expansion before this season starts.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Okay Kevin, I really think you should take Charlotte. And droozer, you never know, someone may not be able to keep their team and drop out.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Alright I'll do Charlotte Mykl says I should be called the aviators and that sounds ok to me.
