Pardon the hiatus, folks—got wildly busy with work, but I'm committed to getting the rest of these teams over to you, in addition to a quickstart in the near future. I may be a touch slow to post, but I won't leave you in the lurch. For now, we're on to the Big Thicket Division, the third of twelve in the Western League. First up:
The Arlington Bats
Bats (the creature) have always been, to me, a curiosity associated with Texas; we don't have quite so many where I'm from, and the concept that they're just darting around overhead all the time is alien and fascinating to me. I knew I wanted a "Bats" team in my league, and Arlington seemed as good a spot as any. This squad, whose look I adapted from a dynamite preexisting Bats logo & wordmark from Sportslogos, plays middling ball at Globe Life Park.
