Best Fantasy Baseball Team Names 2019

Best Fantasy Baseball Team Names 2019 image

Let's face it -- you're probably going to lose your fantasy league this year. Sure, you can have a thorough cheat sheet, pore over rankings and sleeper lists, do practice mock drafts, read endless auction tips/draft strategy advice, and even memorize all of our 50 top prospects, but one elbow tweak here or hamstring pull there and you're donezo. You can only control so much. But one thing you can control -- one thing you can dominate -- is your fantasy baseball team name. You can have a good one, a funny one, a clever one -- you can have the best one. And we're here to help.

And by "help", of course, we mean give you a hundred-plus bad team names so you know what not to pick for yours. OK, maybe there are a few good ones below, but not all are winners. We know that. We're just trying to get your creativity flowing so you can come up with something better. We believe in you. You can beat "Boot Scooter Boogie". You might not be able to top "Here's My Number, Colome Maybe" or "Cron Thugs-N-Harmony", but you can definitely do better than "I Did It All for the Mookie". (Note, not all are references to music from 20-plus years ago...just 90 percent.). 

DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Ultimate 2019 cheat sheet

You can go political ("Greene New Deal") or entertainment-related ("Assistant to the Regional Haniger"); baseball-related ("Advanced Gleybermetrics") or crude ("Dee's Nuts!"); clever ("Only the Good DeJong") or something that really makes a powerful social justice statement ("Can't We All Just Get a Wong?"). 

Ultimately, the best team names are going to be references to inside jokes among your leaguemates or something so crude we can't publish it here, so we're offering mostly PG-rated puns off player names. You have your own pool of references from which to draw, so make it count. Winning the team name battle is arguably more important than winning the league, and unlike in drafts where only one team has a shot at Mike Trout, anyone can walk away from this round of battle knowing they've made the best choice.
