Southern Maryland Blue Crabs (Baseball team)

"The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs are an American professional baseball team based in Waldorf, Maryland. They are members of the North Division of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, an independent "partner league" of Major League Baseball.[1][2] Since 2008, the Blue Crabs have played their home games at Regency Furniture Stadium. They represent the counties of Charles, Calvert, and St. Mary's, which are located on the Southern Maryland peninsula between Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River.[3] In 2006, Southern Maryland residents chose the name "Blue Crabs" in a team-sponsored fan ballot.[4] The name refers to the indigenous blue crab, the official state crustacean of Maryland.[5] The Blue Crabs' fanbase has been nicknamed the "Crustacean Nation", an allusion to the Cardinal Nation and the Red Sox Nation fan clubs of the St. Louis Cardinals and Boston Red Sox.[6]"--Wikipedia, 2021
