Right! Because all of us know for sure that Hank didn't "juice".
May he rest in peace.

Still the all time leader in RBI and Total Bases.

While I don't think a change is necessary, if you've already decided internally that a change is in the offing, this is the move:

Like Atlanta Hammers

While I personally disagree that Braves is on its face “racist,” it has caused a conversation around race.

And, there are very few better to name your team after than Hank Aaron if you are trying to address that conversation.

[PhDhawk]

Better than the Atlanta Chippers I guess.

[CrimsonNBlue]

I think Hammers is really great.

I'd say betting odds favor Kings as it's a nod to both Aaron and MLK.

i could be wrong, but i think the bigger issue was the imagery of the mascot, more so than the name (obviously the two are interconnected tho)

[PhDhawk]

What about the pendletons?

[Deleted User 89]

love those blankets

[pdub]

Phogushers.

Something should be named after Sid Bream...or at least his mustache.
