Asking a group of children to name their baseball team sounds like a headache nobody has time for.
However, a bunch of kids in Chicago have in fact, come up with a name for their team, and they have literally nailed it.
Kevin Guilfoile posted a photo of his son Vaughn in his teams outfit, with their name blazoned across the front and the internet exploded.
Sometimes it's a horrible mistake to let ten-year-olds name their own baseball team. Then again, sometimes they crush it. pic.twitter.com/I1jgDqrPfp

The group of ten-year-old children named their travel team ‘the Illuminati’.
The group had wanted something unique, something no other team had, and they outdone all expectations.
The replies to the tweet are almost as good as the name itself:
@kevinguilfoile Those kids are marketing geniuses that the world could learn from.

@kevinguilfoile @TradersCom Not a baseball fan, but I love this name. Begs the question, what've you been telling your children?

The tweet generated so much interest, that the team have now set up a GoFundMe, where people can donate funds and receive team merchandise in return.
The funds raised will go toward the team’s expenses and any excess will be put toward upgrades to the fields and facilities in the area for all local Little League teams.
We could NEVER have come up with a name as good. Does you kids team have any strange names?
