I know that there is something about a dog named Pickels involved in the origination of the game, but it just seems to me that someone could give it a more zippy name. Baseball isn't called Doubledayball after its founder. Sorry, no suggestions.
I have to agree about the name. There has been talk lately on the usapa message board that a better name might make the sport a little more acceptable. Not sure what that name might be though. Maybe a contest .
