1860 1 March 12, 2005^4:19pm Reedster^1 Worcester, MA's new minor-league team is named the Tornadoes: provocative team name or offensive insult? www.boston.com/sports/baseball/articles/2005/03/11/tornado_name_for_baseball_team_draws_criticism_in_worcester/ Minor Leagues BaseGirl 400 774 0 Weird one here. City of Worcester had a tornado that killed 94 people some 50+ years ago. It seems that a number of Worcester consider this an insult. So, this has me thinking: where is the protest over the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. /I'm being sarcastic... really.
