Sugar Land "Skeeters"
Deacon Jones was our special guest and brought us news of Sugar Land's new minor league baseball team the "Skeeters".

The Skeeters beat out two other proposed names that were picked after residents took part in an online contest. The other finalists were the King Canes and the Lizard Kings.
According to the team, the public vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the Sugar Land Skeeters."We are tenacious, we are synonymous with summer, we are a new species of fun - we are the Sugar Land Skeeters!".Around 8,000 name suggestions came in initially and those were whittled down to three. More than 16,000 votes later, the public had spoken - choosing as its mascot a mosquito with a baseball in its stinger.
A very special thanks to this month's Strategic Partners Aliana, Perry Homes and the Fort Bend Star.
