The Richmond HAMBONES??? Seriously? (5 Finalists announced)

The choices: The Rhinos; The Rock Hoppers; The Flying Squirrels; The Flatheads; The Hambones.

So, if the Flying Squirrels win, does that mean Frandsen plays there all season?

Flying Squirrels!

Would that make them the Richmond Rocky-s?

Considering the Rowand related photoshops around here, I think this should win.

We better be Flying Squirrels.

I’d prefer Peacebone to Hambone … for sentimental reasons.

Can we mix and match? I like the Flying Rhinos. Like Dumbo but with a bad disposition.

Am I alone in actually liking the Hambones? Or rather loving it?

by sularz on Oct 6, 2009 8:00 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

I’ll support the “Ham” name if they schedule a yearly series against the Montgomery Biscuits.

I still believe in Bowkermania.

I’m voting Hambones just because it is that awful.

The more I think about it, the more I think the ‘Richmond Hambones’ is an amazingly awesome name.

They could call them the Hambones and it could be shortened by fans as the “Boners” like the 49ers are the Niners. OK. Maybe not.

I think winners let it go. I think losers dwell on it and talk about it all week and that screws you up for the next opportunity going forward." - Mike Singletary after the 49ers loss to the Vikings
