You voted and this is the result: Rocket City Trash Pandas.

The team, which currently exists as the Mobile BayBears, will begin play in Madison in 2020.

This is the first time I've figured out that "Trash Panda" must be slang for a raccoon.

Comet Jockeys, Trash Pandas, Moon Possums, ThunderSharks and Space Chimps were the finalists.

"Trash Pandas" brings a nod to "Guardians of the Galaxy."  But this is the official description:

Trash Pandas (Slang for raccoon): Our community is known for engineering, and no creature in our galaxy is as smart, creative, determined and ingenious a problem solver - dedicated to the challenge at hand - as our local raccoons!

Though I'm not an engineer (looking at you Doctor Lecter) I was embarrassed by all of the final 10 choices... Hopefully I'll eventually get used to Trash Pandas...

The fans voted for "Blue Wahoos" for Pensacola's AA affiliate of the Cincinnati REDS. Where do they find these people?

What is wrong is sticking with the MLB affiliate name (in this case Angels) or a traditional old school minor league name like the Barons?

I hated all of the final names they picked from. However, I do like Rocket City rather than Huntsville or Madison.

This, or something that would have represented all of north Alabama...
