Summer League Baseball Squad Embraces 'Pirate' Style, Focuses on Hitting Low
Kickin' it up a Notch in Baseball:
Summer isn't just about sunbathing and barbecues—it's also the season for some wild and wacky baseball team names and logos! And one team that truly knows how to shake things up is the Morehead City Marlins of the Coastal Plain League.
Take their latest stunt, for example—the Crystal Coast Booty Divers!

Now, you might be thinking, "Wait a minute, that sounds scandalous!" But fear not, dear reader, for we're talking booty in the pirate sense here. Yep, you read that right.
In the waters off North Carolina's coast, there was, historically, a whole lot of swashbuckling pirate activity. And what did those scallywags love most? Treasure, of course!
So, when they wrecked their ships, they had to get their hands dirty, or rather, their fins wet, and dive deep to find the treasure they sought.
But if your imagination wanders elsewhere, well, that's not the Crystal Coast Booty Divers' fault.
Even the team's merchandise plays along, including "I Go Down" tees and souvenir bikini briefs emblazoned with, shall we say, suggestive logos[1].
Believe it or not, the Morehead City Marlins have a history of pushing buttons with their zany alter egos. They've been the Fish Tacos[1] and the Motorboaters[2], a name shared with the Bismarck Larks of the Northwoods League.
So there you have it, folks! Baseball never seems to disappoint us with its offbeat humor, does it? The Crystal Coast Booty Divers are set to make their debut on June 20, 2025[1]. Get ready to dive headfirst into a rockin' good time!
