Gwinnett Braves Rename?

The selected final choices for renaming the Gwinnett AAA baseball team is the Gobblers, Bigmouths, Sweet Teas, the Hush Puppies or the Buttons?

This is a joke, right? I hope so, otherwise WE will be the joke.

The Sweet Teas...really?

Something like the Choppers or Tomahawks would seem to be too logical...

Hush Puppies? There are no Hush Puppies in baseball.

I know all about Button Gwinnett.

I also know that someone will shorten the name to the Butts in about 3 seconds.

Years ago we used to go to the bar at the Marriot Hotel for happy hour. It was off Pleasant Hill road about 5 miles down the road from Cool Ray Field. The bar was named 'Buttons'.

But I don't think it was named after Button Gwinnett. ;)

Honestly, I didn't read the lead-in paragraph to the story, and when I saw the list of names I thought it was a list of the dumbest suggestions for a new name...kind of a ha-ha piece. Then I read the whole article.

How embarrassing....

I'm pretty sure every one of those suggestions came out of the same kindergarten class room...
