The Pawtucket Red Sox will start playing in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 2021 — and the team is asking fans to help come up with its new name.
The team says it came up with the idea as a way to engage its new fans in Worcester.
Dan Rea, the team's general manager, said the PawSox have received hundreds of suggestions for a team name so far.
"WooSox has been a clear one," he said. "There was a team in the late-19th century in Worcester called the Worcester Ruby Legs, so some people have suggested that as an historical homage. And then other combinations of sox: Worm Sox, because sometimes you hear the nickname Wormtown."
