A propos of nothing, what is the "best" team name in the current BBFL?
| Ghost Man on Third |  15 (10.49%) |
| Edmonton Decepticons | 2 (1.40%) |
| Reykjavik Fish Candy | 20 (13.99%) |
| Homer Jay Simpsons | 24 (16.78%) |
| Mebion Glyndwr | 5 (3.50%) |
| Middleclass Elitists | 10 (6.99%) |
| Schroedinger's Bat | 23 (16.08%) |
| Garth Iorg Gremlins | 9 (6.29%) |
| Chairman Meow | 30 (20.98%) |
| Other (please specify!) | 5 (3.50%) |
Candidates were selected through the scientific method of me scanning the standings and picking out names that made me think "oh, that sounds cool" or at least "okay, that doesn't completely suck."
If your team name is not included, it is not meant as a personal slight and please feel free to vote "Other" to make your voice heard.
For the record, my vote went to "Schroedinger's Bat" which is simply genius.

Me too! I don't know what it means, but...
Actually, until some point in the future, you don't know for sure whether you know the meaning or don't know the meaning.
The name is indeed genius, and it got my vote as well.
My question is can the bat hit without outside interference? (But I still when with Chairman Meow, I’ll take political science over quantum mechanics for 1000 Alex)
It was also probably lifted from Dan Fox at Baseball Prospectus.
Schroedinger's Bat is the most clever, but I felt that it wasn't entirely original. Chairman Meow is pleasant to the ear and plays on the fact that in Mandarin Chinese, 'mao' means both 'Chairman Mao Zedong' and 'cat'.
