Ahh...the Hatchets are a bit of a cheat on the name, much like the Bears.
The Harlem Hatchets are a carryover name from Strat-o-Matic's online playground. They are the first team for which I used the random Google Maps find. Unfortunately, I didn't keep a record of the original coordinates.
Harlem is in...Michigan. This was before I thought of looking around for an object to give me a name. This part of Michigan seems to have a lot of old native American references, which made me think of tomahawks, ala the Atlanta Braves, and I liked the alliteration, so...the Hatchets.
