Potomac Nationals owner mulls new baseball team name, will hold a contest

FREDERICKSBURG -- Fans will have a chance to rename the Potomac Nationals as the Minor League Baseball team moves from Woodbridge to Fredericksburg.

Team owner Art Silber says he’s open to a name change and plans to listen to the community in the coming months about proposed team names. Silber plans to include “Fredericksburg” in the team name.

The Potomac Nationals, also known as the P-Nats are a Class A Advanced affiliate of the Washington Nationals. Silber says “Nationals” is still being considered in the potential team,  there is some concern because, well, the nickname “F-Nats” could become the root of potential jokes, he said.
