Baseball Anagrams

Anagrams are fun. I have no idea why, really, because it seems like something that shouldn’t be. I think, though, that anytime you can use baseball for other stuff, that other stuff becomes more fun than it should be. I could make a baseball haiku and be entertained, but authoring a haiku about knitting sounds like an awful experience.

We’ll start with the Mariners, then the rest of the AL West, then the rest of baseball alphabetically. Some teams had lots of awesome anagrams. Some had none. It’ll be a gas, regardless. I promise.
