You have a dirty mind. All I thought of was The Muppets.

What else would you have the Houston club be named?
Stupid sports names to me:
Redskins
LA Lakers
STL Cardinals - state bird of MO is a Eastern Bluebird, State bird of IL is the Cardinal.
LA Dodgers
Utah Jazz
Rays should be Sting Rays
KC Royals - dont hate the name just there are better names for KC

thought this was interesting:
The temporary decision by the Boston National Leaguers to drop the color red from their uniforms led to a history-making decision:
"Red Stockings had been part of all Boston National League teams up to 1907, but Fred Tenney, manager in that year, told Peter F. Kelley, the Boston Journal's baseball writer, he would abandon the red stockings tradition in favor of white stockings, because of the danger that colored stockings might cause leg injuries to become infected. Kelley wrote a story condemning Tenney for parting with the Boston National League club's tradition. The next day, John Irving Taylor, Boston American League club president, told the Boston Journal writer, 'Here's a scoop for you. I am going to grab the name Red Sox, and the Boston American League club will wear red stockings." (BBG)

KC Royals fits well because Kansas City sports teams, current and past, all have royalty names.

IE KC Chiefs, KC Kings (basketball), KC Monarchs (Negro)

It's like they saw the Chihuahuas and said, "Ha! We can top THAT!"

Just did an image search on Google, that was one of the first images that popped up.

Poor choice of words...one should never say "popped up" in connection with Rubbers...er, Rubber Ducks.
