Well. What can one say?
Albuquerque is known occasionally as the "Duke City", so named because the city was named for the Spanish viceroy, who happened to be titled the Duke of Albuquerque. So in essence the city was named for a leader of the folks who were busily wiping out the native inhabitants. So there's one problem with the comments.
And as anybody who knows any US/scientific history understands, "Isotopes" is a great name for a New Mexico team. Unwieldy for a sports franchise, maybe (I'd love to see the mascot!), but hardly inappropriate.
So, "Baseball Fan", hush ;-)
(BTW, their parent club is the Florida Marlins. Just so you know ;-) )
