    Can we please go with crush city when referring to our team instead of hustle town....

    Clutch City, Crush City, and maybe Crunch City if the Texans are good again. Texans one could use some work...

    It's funny because you don't have to hustle to hit home runs and strike out. Hustle Town is more descriptive of a small ball team.

    I dont know but when you google Crush City astros comes up immediately after and even googling "crush city baseball" the Astros come up so that means we are undisputed.

    Not really a fan of forcing nicknames, but Crush City does the trick. Not sure what this Hustle Town thing is. Kind of sucks that BAL used Crush City a while back, but it fits our team and our city.

    If crush city was used by Baltimore, i don't want it. Rather just go with Hustle town.

    I've never heard them referred to as Hustle Town, only Crush City

    Crush City is best
