Re: the Sept. 21 article "Sweet start: Sugar Skulls are our new indoor team."

Sugar Skulls? What genius came up with that name to represent the city of Tucson? A night of tequila and who knows what other mind altering substance is the only reason I can think of. Wouldn't something that reflected the culture of the city, instead of the culture of "American Horror Story" be more appropriate?

Even such boring names as the Gullywashers or Monsoons would at least sound more appealing than some nonsensical name as Sugar Skulls! My favorite would be the Tucson Torinos with a T-shirt image of Clint Eastwood. I wish them good luck though, since we can no longer enjoy baseball at one of the most beautiful parks in the minors.
