Peace out Yankees?

Boston.com reported today that the Lowell Spinners are on a quest to eliminate the word "Yankees" from Little League in New England. They estimate that 50% of youth baseball leagues in the area have a team called the Yankees. Funny enough, they're trying to get the teams to change their names to...I'll give you three guesses...uh, yeah, the Spinners. The justification is that the Spinners are the Single-A Affiliate of the Red Sox. Makes sense.

Three teams have already agreed to change their names. What do I think? Suits me. The fewer Yankees there are, the better.
