My new favorite baseball team is the Mahong Valley Scrappers. They are a single A baseball club for the Cleveland Indians franchise. I have always been a fan of the underdog, and since the Red Sox no longer fit that description, I have been forced to find a new club to ROOT ROOT ROOT for.
They have the coolest logo in the world:

I have a hat....and I know a part owner of the team. I hope to be a substitute bat boy for them one day, or possibly a groundskeeper.
