What is a Pupfish?
Assistant City Manager Matt McNeile is the man who named the team the Pupfish. Outside of Alamo the Pupfish is a little known animal.
A white Sands Pupfish is considered a Species of Concern by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and is listed as a Threatened Species by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NMDGF); and the White Sands Pupfish only live in the Tularosa Basin, New Mexico on public lands adminsistered by the US Army.
The Pupfish were originally going to be named the Alamogordo Kingfish and serve as the travel team, there were going to inherit the Montreal Look and feel of the Coastal Kingfish.
Why Alamogordo?
Alamogordo has a great base of sports fans from locals to Holloman Air Force Base and with natural Pecos League Rivals in Las Cruces and Roswell it is ideal.
Alamogordo is only 85 miles North of El Paso it is actually the easiest city in the Pecos League to fly in and out of.
Whites Sands has a great base for sports fans and is the absolute center point of the Pecos League based on mileage.
The fans in Alamo have been seeking a team that represents their own identity.
