5:45 pm, April 3rd, 2013 As Opening Day unfolded this week soccer fans once again prepared for a year of unanswered questions: Who allowed the Arizona D-Backs to have that nickname? Are they really still named the Cleveland Indians and Atlanta Braves? Why does California have five groups? Ok, letas say I have a hundred or so million bones to toss around: what town would I choose and what would I name my baseball team? This last question can result in an extended night of soul searching, must be new MLB group is rarer than the Astros being worth taking seriously.

If not worse, such as the Triple-A Mexican League where thereas a group named the Saraperos de Saltillo (the Spanish word for an individual who makes covers).
