Frontier League gets a K-Nine unit

The expansion team that is set to join the Frontier League in 2011 and play in a new ballpark in Woodstock, Ill., will be called the McHenry County K-Nines. The nickname K-Nines was chosen over Coyotes and Mustangs. The most popular entry in the Name-The-Team Contest was Groundhogs. The Bill Murray movie "Groundhog Day" was shot in Woodstock.

It's a different name for sure, but by reading the comments on the story in the Northwest Herald, it's not a popular one with the locals. There's only one or two comments in favor of the name.
