I usually would not post this but there were a couple of things of interest in here.
1) One of the possible names for the team was the Greenville Joe's which sounds like a really crazy name. However, the name was for Shoeless Joe Jackson who is a Greenville native and certain Greenvillians have been trying for years to get baseball to posthumously "unconvict" of the gambling charges.
2) The name selected was the Greenville Drive (which I think is a horrible name even a worse name than the Joes)
3) I don't think this is mentioned in the article. Gville is building (downtown) a miniature replica of Fenway. including the Green Monster, which I think is kinda cool.
