I really appreciate you saying that. Thanks a lot.

I wanted a name that sounded more contemporary. So that ruled out Trolleys and Atlantics. The latter is certainly very "baseball" like, but...I didn't think any team would try to market itself that way.

Brooklyn's asset is it's name and I think that it wouldn't matter what it's called, so long as Brooklyn is in front and so, we're doing our best to accentuate that more than anything else.

I'm really glad that it's working out and that there is so much interest. Makes me even more excited to get down and deep into the story as we move along.

I'm trying really hard in this particular dynasty to stick to personalities and to build a character for the ballclub in a way I haven't since the old days of my dynasties.

I think that's what makes stuff interesting ESPECIALLY for a dynasty for a team in Brooklyn.
