Yankees farm team will be Pizza Rats on Saturdays

Breaking news out of New York's Staten Island:

The Staten Island Yankees will now be the Staten Island Pizza Rats (during Saturday night home games in 2018)!

That seems like a bit of a cop-out after, in 2016, a fan vote declared the team should change its moniker to Pizza Rats (they didn't), which would name it after this legendary viral video from 2015:

Yeah, it'll only be five games. But it's progress. Maybe people will buy all their Pizza Rats merchandise and the team will realize it's sitting on a Pizza Rat goldmine and they'll rebrand forever. We can only hope.
