We have the power to name Hartford's baseball team the YARD GOATS1. Yard Goats

YARD GOATS.

It's an old term for locomotives that never leave the railyard, and it apparently honors Hartford's railroad history. It also sounds rad....

You can easily come up with a mascot with this name (a goat) and have goats all around the park, doing goat things and letting you pet them in exchange for weird green pellets that make your hands stink. Here, I'll use clip art to design a hat you would buy.

Yard Goats.

IT'S BEEN SO MUCH MORE FUN AROUND HERE SINCE THE YARD GOATS CAME TO TOWN

You said it, pal. You said it. Vote Yard Goats.

If you have goats around, it will also save on maintenance of the grass.

If they were the yardbirds, Charlie Parker could be the mascot.
 
Yard Goats?

Perhaps that would be a better new name for the Baltimore Oriole's, based on where they play....(Camden Yards) :p

There is a Chicago neighborhood called Bucktown, supposedly because of the animals owned by early immigrant residents of the area. This could have been their local park league team.
