Still no one has answered the trivia as to why the NY Hockey team is the "Rangers".

I'll add a bonus question: what is the New Jersey Hockey team named after? :cool:

The word "actually" was mentioned 8 times in this thread. 9 times if you count the one time I used it.

The nickname Devils comes from the supposed "Jersey Devil", a creature that is thought to inhabit the pinebarrens in southern Jersey...(Exit 3 for you turnpike travellers)...

Billy Dee Williams should own a team with that name.

Their rival would be the Kentucky Fried Chickens.

Poor parenting and poor education leads to Mets fans. Please help.

Actually Padres is "father", as in priest, a reference to the Franciscan monastaries in southern california...

They're also referred to as the "Friars" for some reason..

Also, nobody's mentioned (for good reason), the Las Vegas 51's.

The JERSEY DEVIL Yup; I think it's actually(10);) a cool name.
