Hey Mets fans! The Binghamton Mets, the AA affiliate of the club, are looking for a new nickname. After thousands of entries, the team has narrowed the choices down to six options for you to vote on:

Bullheads
A local inhabitant of the Susquehanna River, a Bullhead is a bullhead catfish. The bullhead displays a tough and resilient character such as the Binghamton community.

Gobblers
A symbol of the rich hunting culture of the area, the "Binghamton Gobblers" honors the outdoorsman lifestyle and turkeys who call Binghamton home.

Rocking Horses
The "Binghamton Rocking Horses" celebrates the Triple Cities' rich history as the "Carousel Capital of the World."

Rumble Ponies
A tribute to the Triple Cities' carousel heritage, the "Binghamton Rumble Ponies" is a herd of fierce horses that no carousel center pole can contain.

Stud Muffins
While tipping a cap to the players on the field, the "Stud Muffins" celebrates the collection of carousel horses belonging to Binghamtonians.

Timber Jockeys
Combining the fun of Minor League Baseball with the rich carousel history of the Triple Cities, the "Binghamton Timber Jockeys" pays homage to everyone that rides the carousels.

 

Minor league teams are known for having fun or ridiculous nicknames, and all of these options would seem to fit the bill. They're unique, they're local, and they would make for some great merch. Who wouldn't want to own a jersey or tshirt emblazoned with "Stud Muffin"?  Also, did no one with the team check Urban Dictionary for "gobbler"?  Can I do a write-in vote for "Baseball McBaseballface"?
