Are The Fresno Grizzlies Considering a Name Change?

Thursday night, the Fresno Grizzlies Tacos, er, Grizzlies (the Triple-A affiliate of the Houston Astros) held their annual Taco Truck Throwdown and even set a team attendance record.

Friday, the team was considering a name change.

I mean…they had to be, right?

Hey @FresnoGrizzlies. Change your name to the #FresnoTacos permanently and we’ll buy tacos for all of Fresno. Deal?

Alright, before you say “it’s not worth it” consider this…the NHL’s Anaheim (Mighty) Ducks have been around since 1993 and right about that same time, the Anaheim Angels adopted a very Disney-friendly logo so, yeah, a pro franchise becoming a corporate sellout is not completely out of the question.

By the way, I like my taco with meat, cheese and lettuce…no tomato.
