A name is selected for baseball team
Cooperstown’s minor league baseball team has
a name — Hawkeyes.
Team owner Tom Hickey, of Fly Creek, said
Tuesday afternoon that the name was selected
from more than 60 entries — some coming from as
far away as Austin, Texas and Dearborn, Mich.
Hickey said the winning entry was submitted
by Cooperstown resident David Pearlman. Other
people made the same suggestion, but Pearlman’s
submission was received first.
Hickey said he was looking for something that
was consistent with the history of Cooperstown
and also would lend itself to the creation of a team
logo and mascot.
The most popular entry was the Mohicans.
Hickey said he was encouraged by the response
from the public and is looking forward to the
team’s first season next summer.
