Default Singular Sports Teams Names
I was setting my fantasy line ups tonight and noticed that the NBA has several team names that are singular: Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder. I couldn't think of any baseball teams that weren't plural and didn't come up with any football teams either.

Wonder why it works so well for basketball.

I just looked on baseball-reference.com, and I could find only one historical pro baseball team that had a singular name.

The Newark Pepper was a Federal League team in 1915. Their roster included Bill McKechnie, Edd Roush, Germany Schaefer and Ed Reulbach.

If you are including minor league baseball, there are definitely quite a few. Off the top of my head (though I haven't verified uniqueness):
Lansing Lugnuts
Las Vegas 51s
Delmarva Shorebirds
Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs
Albequerque Isotopes
Carolina Mudcats
Greensboro Grasshoppers
Fayetteville (NC) Woodpeckers

Duh. Sorry. Missed the "singular" part of your original post.

FWIW, Wild and Storm have multiple teams in this thread already (may be others).
