Virginia's new minor league daddy-themed baseball team

State of play: The parent organization behind Danville's existing minor league baseball team, the Otterbots, announced in February a second summer team for the town 2.5 hours southwest of Richmond.

• And just like that, the Dairy Daddies — "udderly" the most innuendo-filled team in baseball — hit the internet, inviting fans to "get milked" at the "Field of Creams" or stop in for theme nights like "Teat Tuggin' Thursday."
• If that doesn't whet your sportsball appetite, there's the mascot, McCreamy — a ripped and ready shirtless bull giving off his best come hither look — already dubbed the "sexiest mascot in all of sports" by at least two websites.

Zoom in: The name, the branding, the hunk-a-licious mascot and the innuendo — it's all on purpose, of course, The Athletic reports.

• The racy imagery helps drive interest and tickets sales, but it's meaning goes beyond buff bulls; the dairy pays homage to Danville being home to three of the state's five largest dairy farms, Wall Street Journal reports.

• Plus, "we look at this brand as an outward way to say Danville as a city, southern Virginia as a region, we're here, you cannot ignore us anymore, we're not going anywhere, so it's time to get familiar," Dairy Daddy GM Austin Scher told sportslogos.net.

If you go: If you wanna get in on the action firsthand, their next few games are this Friday and Saturday and the next on the home farm in Danville. Tickets are $20.
