The Bmets had a contest and the Rumble Ponies won out. As Vroomed said it was named after the carousel. Unique name indeed. Anything to sell more shirts. Even the Reading Phillies have become the Reading Fightin' Phils.

Anything to sell more shirts is right, and hats, jerseys, etc., etc. Couple of fun links on the topic: https://www.milb.com/milb/news/minors-have-long-tradition-of-wacky-names/c-214927860/t-185364810 https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016/02/26/crazy-weird-minor-league-team-names
