Kurt Landes, General Manager of the Lehigh Valley AAA baseball franchise, and Chuck Domino, team president were set on one thing when they opened a promotion over a month ago to find a nickname for the team that will open play in the spring of 2008.
They both wanted the public to be involved in choosing it.
When Ron Steele, a 31-year old circuit layout designer from Northampton, submitted the name, he never realized how much of a big deal the nicname chosen out of 3,500 entries would turn out to be.
And the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs it is.
