While driving to Taos, I couldn't help noticing as we passed through Albuquerque that the name of their stadium is "Isotopes Stadium".
Could Albequerqueans be so insanely awesome as to actually adopt "Isotopes" as the name of their minor league baseball team?
Apparently so:
The fictional Springfield Isotopes from the long running TV series The Simpsons were the influence for the new name of the team. In the episode "Hungry Hungry Homer", Homer Simpson attempts to thwart the team's plan to move 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."
