Ps. Please think twice before naming your slowpitch softball team.

Choosing a team name is usually something the founding members do. What's in a name? There are a lot of sports teams that exist in the world and each of them has a name. Sometimes there are duplicate team names. Sometimes the name is so creative you wish you would have thought of it yourself.
When it comes to slowpitch softball team names - specifically in Calgary, the need for eccentric or double-entendre team names seems common.
