Name That Team!

By Laura Knoy on Tuesday, November 18, 2003.

Many New Hampshire sports fans balked when they learned the name of Manchester?s new baseball team. For them, ?The New Hampshire Primaries? just didn?t cut it. Now the team?s owners are culling ideas from the public. We'll talk about what makes a good team name, why there was such an outcry over "The Primaries", and what other ideas are out there. Laura's guests are Vin Sylvia, deputy managing editor for sports at The Manchester Union Leader and Sunday News and Rich Finkelson, co-founder of www.manchesterteam.com, an online petition about the team name. We?ll also hear from former Major Leaguer Bob Tewksbury, Bill Littlefield, host of NPR?s Only a Game, National Baseball Hall of Fame librarian Jim Gates, and representatives from Manchester's new team.
