With the Red Sox back at Fenway (and winning) and the WooSox debuting in Worcester, we have baseball on the brain. And these bands sound like team names.

• The Afghan Whigs

  Share

  The team would likely be from Cincinnati, since that's where the band is from.

• Alabama Shakes

  Share

  The Yellowhammer State deserves their own MLB team.

• The Amboy Dukes

  Share

  Not to be confused with the Albuquerque Dukes.
• The Ataris

  Share

  Actually, this one would probably be better for a pro gaming team.

• The Black Crowes

  Share

  There's gotta be a MiLB team with this name already, right? No, wait: copyright infringement. Dammit.

• Blackpool Lights

  Share

  Liverpool has a pro sports team. Why not Blackpool?
• Boston

  Share

  OK, it's already a team name, technically.

• Boston Spaceships

  Share

  It's been decades since we've had two major league teams in Boston. It's time for Boston Spaceships to join the National League.

• Brandtson

  Share

  They'd play in Missouri, obviously.
• Buffalo Springfield

  Share

  Or, rather, the Springfield Buffaloes.

• The Byrds

  Share

  I mean, we already have Orioles and Blue Jays and Cardinals, right?

• The Cars

  Share

  Endless sponsorship opportunities for countless automakers.
• Chicago

  Share

  Wait, there's already two of these. Never mind.

• The Clash

  Share

  This team would lead the league in jersey sales.

• Delta Spirit

  Share

  Another team from down south?
• Foo Fighters

  Share

  Actually, I can see Dave sponsoring a local Little League team and letting them use the Foo name.

• Kansas

  Share

  The Royals would like to have a word...

• Scorpions

  Share

  There's GOTTA be an MiLB team with this name already, right?
• The White Stripes

  Share

  The uniforms would look awesome.

• The Yardbirds

  Share

  Maybe a minor league affiliate of The Byrds?

• The Zombies

  Share

  The team that always comes back!
