So it's a name that has traveled to different spots as well.
So why it would stay with Oakland wouldn't have been in tradition with the actual nickname if you kept it in Las Vegas.
I'm curious, if you surveyed all athletics fans, would they say, yo, they're moving to Vegas, we're pumped about it, keep the name!
Or do you think the baseball world would benefit more, Kavino, from a fresh new...
Yeah, they're the Vegas Alien Invaders or something, right?
Well, my understanding was they couldn't keep the name.
So I would at least keep the colors to keep some of the tradition because I don't know if you followed what I said.
If you're starting a new franchise.
You still want to get as many old fans as you can, not just new fans.
So you want to keep the old Dave Stewart, Dave Parker, Ricky Henderson fans, the Raleigh Finger fans from yesteryear, and then win over new Vegas fans as well.
So keep the colors, change the name, and start something new at the same time.
But as of now, the rumor is Vegas Blackfire.
Was this leaked?
Was this sort of testing the waters to see what the feedback was?
I don't hate it by any means, but what do you guys think?
Or just a placeholder.
And, Kavino, do you think, I mean, what did the Million Dollar Man teach us when we were kids?
That everybody has a price.
So, I mean, if they want the athletics name.
Yeah, they can negotiate.
