Unbeknownst to many, New Hampshire is getting a minor league baseball team. As is often the case, the team held a contest to choose a name. One clearly stood out - the New Hampshire Primaries. It both reflects the state's historic role in presidential elections, it also had a cool logo.
So what happens when you let the people vote? The obvious choice comes in LAST.
The team will henceforth be known as the Granite State Fisher Cats. The fisher, for those of you who don't know, is a type of weasel (so in a way it appears they've still honored their political connection).
The other three names in contention were the Manchester Millers (which lost by less than 25 votes), the Granite State Mountain Men, and the New Hampshire Granite. I like the Millers (I wasn't aware that a lot of milling went on in Manchester, but I'm likely ignorant on the topic) and Granite (even though it's one of those non-plural nicknames), but Primaries was perfect. Maybe too perfect.
Just remember that this decision came from the state that we entrust with an early position in selecting our presidents (and as Chris Rosenberg pointed out, went for Pat Buchanan twice).
