The list can go on and on for baseball-style team names. There are endless options to be thought of, and generally, player names tend to provide more laughs. However, song lyrics are the easiest to leverage in a team name. Above, we reference Bon Jovi and Jay-Z, among other popular television shows of years past.

Regardless of whatever name you choose, remember that it is not so much your team name that matters as your team configuration. Stay tuned for more Fantasy Sports on SI baseball content over March.
