A Yard Goat is a small locomotive that used to shuttle train cars around the rail yards, today that term is still used for a truck used in trucking terminals for moving trailers around. Sounds hard working, something that gets a job done....Now what exactly is a "Rock Cat"?
When the New Britain team changed their name to the Rock Cats, a lot of people had issues with the change, but it quickly became accepted and now everyone is upset that it is being abandoned.
Let's look at some other minor league and other team names that I find "odd;"
- Williamsport Crosscutters
- Albuquerque Isotopes
- Medesto Nuts
- Lansing Lugnuts
- Savanah Sand Gnats
- Montgomery Biscuits
- UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs
and let us not forget the...
- The Toledo Mud Hens.
So everyone needs to relax and let it sink in and maybe, just maybe, you will come to like it...
GO YARD GOATS!!!!
