Michigan Battle Cats
Once upon a time – 1995, to be exact – there was a new minor league baseball entry in the Midwest League to be known as the Battle Creek Golden Kazoos. Locals took a dim view of the name – they hated it, actually. But the absentee owner lived in Virginia and it’s not clear that community uproar alone would have been enough to silence the Golden Kazoos. Enter local oddball George Hubka.
