more personality, you see.

Ken, I think your daughter, Gort, and my mom's dog would make a great Manager, bench coach, and pitching coach, respectively. That dog can catch ANYTHING.

And yet... I choose to live in a world where "Ham" is part of the nickname, where a team that calls itself the "Fighters" is formidable, but a team that goes by the "Ham Fighters" moniker is doubly so. Because as every man, woman, and child knows, a fighting force composed of ham is one to be reckoned with.

That's the reality I've opted for, at any rate. It's the romantic in me.

But is it as formidable as IronPigs?

Looking at the other finalists, I'd say the fix was on.
"Besides Iron Pigs, they were the Gobblers, Crushers, Phillies, Phantastics, Vulcans, Keystones and Woodchucks."

But by the AAA level, you'd think the iron would a little more refined than the pig state.
