It can’t be denied that there is a meaning behind every name, and this is why so many parents beat their brains out for naming their children. I am fond of linking the name of baseball team to the location they derived from; in this way, I can benefit from this in two parts. On the one hand, I can easily gain high grades in geography by being familiar with the background of baseball teams’ names, such as Yankees located in New York, and Lakers. Besides, knowing more about American native customs; for instance, Red Sox reveals the industry there. On the other hand, we can read the features and spirits of this team through their names; take Cubs for example, they decide to name their team as cubs not bears.


Names are quite interesting to study because we can see the owners inside through them.
