List of Cities:
These are the names I use for some of the cities on your list, with a brief explanation in parentheses if necessary.

Baton Rouge - Blues (Self explanatory. Triple A team in my league)

Chicago - Blue Sox (Combines Cubs blue w/ White Sox. I personally wouldn't use both this and Blues for Baton Rouge though. I only do because Baton Rouge is Triple A in my league)

Denver - Mammoths (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowmastodon_site)

Fresno - Suns (One of the sunniest places in the U.S. - https://www.currentresults.com/Weath...S/sunniest.php)

Indianapolis - Checkers (as in checkered flag, as in the Indianapolis 500 race)

Jacksonville - Whales (https://www.floridarambler.com/north...lagler-county/

Los Angeles - Guardians (Angels I think makes the most sense for L.A., but I don't like to copy MLB, so I went with a synonym instead.)

Memphis - Monarchs (I prefer Kings, as in Elvis, but I prefer the alliteration of the double Ms more)

New Orleans - Gators (Self-explanatory)

Philadelphia - Liberty (Self-explanatory, but maybe a little too WNBAish for baseball)

Phoenix - Firebirds (Old SF Giants Triple A affiliate, plus I found a really cool logo)

Washington - Federals (Old USFL team and I personally flat out use their logo for my league)
