Let’s Talk Bellingham Baseball (Got Anything Better to Do?)

Bellingham is a college town located in the northwestern corner of the State of Washington, which puts it smack dab in the middle of the northwestern corner of the continental United States of America. Many years ago it had a professional minor league baseball team, the Bellingham Mariners, affiliated, not surprisingly, with the Seattle Mariners. Its major claim to fame, almost certainly, was that it was the first professional baseball team for baseball legend Ken Griffey, Jr.

That team no longer exists. But fortunately for them the town still at least has a collegiate summer team; the Bellingham Bells. Here’s the point of all this. The Bellingham Mariners? The Bellingham Bells? No offense intended to anyone, but come on guys, you could do so much better with the goldmine you’ve got to work with. May I offer a few suggestions?

* The Bellingham ‘n Eggs

* The Bellingham Sandwiches

* The Bellingham Bones

* The Bellingham Hocks (or you could go with the “Hawks” if you insist on being a purist).

There you go, no charge. Go ‘n Eggs!
