Mike -

According to the team's wsebsite, they are playing in the Big Easy and proudly proclaim themselves as the first team back home after Katrina.

Isotopes?  So instead of the player's names on the backs of the uniforms, do 
they have the name of the element whose atomic number matches the player's 
number (Hydrogen, #1, Helium, #2, Lithium, #3, etc.)

  

Las Vegas 51's   1460-KENO-Las Vegas NV/870-KLSQ-Whitney NV (a)
      

49ers, 76ers, 67s (Ottawa), I get.  But why 51s?  Did Nevada achieve 
statehood in 1851, or is there some other reason?

Gotta love those minor league team names!

  

New Orleans Zephyrs   690-WIST-New Orleans LA
    

Is this team actually playing in New Orleans?  Or have they temporarily 
re-located post-Katrina, like the Saints and Hornets?
