Sports Team Nicknames, College and Pro, A to Z. Test Your Sports Knowledge!
This could be a fun one, since many pro and especially college teams have some fun and colorful nicknames
So, list the nickname, and then, after that, the name of the city or school the team represents. And, again, let's follow the A to Z format
And with the pros, if you list a name of a team that is not from one of the four major sports leagues (for example, if your entry is the name of a team from, say, the pro soccer league or WNBA or Arena Football League, add that bit of info so we know you're not makin' it up! )
Okay, I will start with:
Aggies, Texas A&M

Yup. They were the Detroit Tigers farm club for a long time, although I don't know if they are any more
