August 23, 200718 yr so THATs where the FO got all their ideas. coincidence the Isotopes are our AAA? no way in hell. From the Alberquerque Isotope's Wikipedia page: The fictional Springfield Isotopes from the long running TV series The Simpsons were the influence for the new name of the team in 2003. In the episode Hungry Hungry Homer, Homer Simpson attempts to thwart a planned move by the team to Albuquerque. Subsequently, when an Albuquerque Tribune online survey helped the team decide its new name, "Isotopes" received 67 percent of the 120,000 votes. In the three months after the team's name was announced in September 2002, before the team ever took the field, the team sold more merchandise than the city's previous team, the Dukes, sold in any single season, and led minor-league baseball in merchandising revenue. The team said they were able to tell when episodes featuring the Springfield Isotopes would air in different markets based on clusters of orders from different viewing areas. The team has no working agreements with FOX or The Simpsons.
