Great Semi-Professional Baseball Team Nicknames
Early semi-pro/minor league ball has always been a haven for ridiculous nicknames, here are my top 5 in the Pacific Northwest; (these are legit nicknames not derogatory terms)
Honorable Mention; Roslyn Yippers (1904 - 1929), Toppenish Squawmen (1922)
5) Yakima Pippins (1937 - 41)
4) Fern Hill Chicken Raisers (1921 - 26)
3) Snohomish Pilchuckers (1922 - ?)
2) Wenatchee Apple Knockers (1928)
1) Sellwood Dingbats (OR, 1914 - 15)
Two players deserve to be mentioned; "Slim" Love (Hollywood Stars), and "Snag" Wood (Cle Elum Athletics)
