Have you ever wondered how every MLB team got its name? Well I did too!
I wanted to know how every Baseball Name changed through the years, so I decided to take an unreasonably long time to research each team and create this video. Hopefully you learn a thing or two, too! Each team is listed in the order that they were founded or became a part of the MLB. And since location plays a huge role in the team name (like 50%) I also hit every move as a part of this video!

Big part of it was that the socks were pretty much the only distinct part of those early uniforms, as the wearing of white for the rest of the uniform was considered genteel, gentlemanly, and proper, because heaven forbid that anyone see an athlete sweat. Sweating is coarse and common. Seriously, that's the reason for the traditions of wearing white in athletic contests comes from, as still seen in international test cricket and at Wimbledon. British imperialist snobbery. Can't appear to be a commoner, we're more elegant and sophisticated than that. All while they engaged in bloodthirsty colonial conquest and pillaging. Hypocritical asses.

Quick note on the Rays’ name change: in addition to making the name more simple, it was also done to be more generic: “Rays” is used both to reference the stingrays as well as rays of sunshine (referring to usual Florida weather). This can be seen by the yellow star on the Rays team logo.

The Toronto Blue Jays were also at least partially owned (maybe majority) by Canadian brewer Labatt, who’s top selling beer was Labatt Blue ( my Dad likes it, others like me it’s…meh…). Their choice of Blue Jays for a name fit in very well for sponsoring telecasts, and was obviously pushed for by the owners no matter what the fan poll would have preferred. I remember the broadcasts starting with “Welcome to Labatt Blue Jays baseball!” 🙂

The thing is, Tampa Bay's team picked the Devil Rays, when at the time there were a couple of weather-influenced names for current pro-teams. We had the Tampa Bay Storm (Arena Football), the Tampa Bay Lightning (our NHL hockey team), so my suggestion was they called this MLB franchise, the Tampa Bay Sun-Rays. By using a Sunshine motif on a devil ray, it would have still retained homage to the original Devil Rays, and giving us a third weather-themed team.

The Chicago White Sox started in Sioux City, but in 1899 was in St. Paul, MN, Charles Comiskey moved the team to Chicago, but it wasn't a "stealth" move, since the NL team granted permission for the move as long as their jersey didn't say "Chicago" and they played south of 35th St. because it would have been downwind of the Union Stockyards. Unlike other cities, what are now the White Sox and Cubs got along right from the beginning. They were even the first to hold a city series.

Being a lifelong Red Sox fan, and living much of my life 5 miles or so from Troy,NY, I can say both are very true. First Major League Grand slam home run was even hit at a game played by the Troy team, but not in Troy. The stadium they used was unavailable so they had to play the game in a stadium in present day Rensselaer NY (then called East Albany, which is how it was written in baseball records). There is a plaque on the spot, and the location of the stadium is now a city park with a softball field roughly in the same spot.

Also the name Orioles also was the name of a an American Association team in Baltimore from 1882-1891 and then the National League from 1892-1899 winning three National League pennants and two Temple Cups, and managed by the same Ned Halon mentioned above.

Calvin Griffith, who continued to own the Twins until 1984, wanted to name the team the "Twin Cities Twins." However, MLB vetoed that name proposal as the other owners of MLB believed that the name "Twin Cities Twins" would be too ambiguous. He was given permission to name the team for the state, and thus the Minnesota Twins were born, becoming the first major sports team above the collegiate level to be named for a state rather than a city (joined the same year by the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League).

It was the O'Malley's of the Dodgers that first wanted to claim the untapped market of Los Angeles but travel costs would be enormous if every other member was in the midwest or northeast. He had to convince Horace Stoneham of the Giants to move to the Bay Area at the same time. That was an easier decision for the Giants since the Polo Grounds were fading into disrepair by that time. When told they would be losing both teams, New York City tried one last measure which was to build a stadium for the Dodgers near one of the major freeways but, by now, all the gold in California twinkled brightly so the move was completed. I have simmed keeping the two teams in New York and expanding teams into California. That would mean no need for the Mets and Astros with Houston getting a team in 1969.

The Baltimore Orioles were a 19th-century professional baseball team that competed from 1882 to 1899, first in the American Association and later in the National League. This early Orioles franchise, which featured six players (Wilbert Robinson--C, Dan Brouthers--1B, Hughie Jennings--SS, John McGraw--3B, "Wee Willie" Keeler--RF, and Joe Kelley--LF) and a manager (Ned Hanlon) who would become future inductees to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, finished in first place for three consecutive seasons (1894-1896) and won the Temple Cup national championship series in 1896 and 1897. Despite their success, the dominant Orioles were contracted out of the National League after the 1899 season, when the league reduced in size from 12 members to eight. Upon the foundation of the American League in 1901, a reorganized Baltimore Orioles franchise competed as a charter member, before relocating to New York City after two seasons, where they were replaced by the team that is better known as the New York Yankees.

The reason that the 1971 expansion was moved up two years was because Senator Stuart Symington from Missouri - a powerful senator whose state had lost the Athletics - threatened to strip MLB of its antitrust exemption if he didn't get a replacement team back in Kansas City stat, and to hell with the other three markets. This put the other three teams - and especially the Pilots - at a severe disadvantage. Specifically the Pilots were forced to use a stadium that wasn't even remotely suitable for MLB baseball, resulting in their bankruptcy and eventually moving to Milwaukee.

Ya, as a Seattle sports fan, that information (which I already knew, but thank you for bringing it up) infuriates me. We lost the Pilots after one dreadful season, had to wait over half a decade for a new team, who went on to be atrocious for almost 2 decades. In that time, we got the joy of watching the Pilots (now the Brewers) go to the World Series, a feat our Mariners are now the only active team in the MLB to have never accomplished. Oh, and btw, one year after tying the league record for the most wins in a single regular season, we started a soon to be 20 year playoff drought. Us lucky Seattle fans. For some reason, I still love my M's, though. Going to watch them play for the 22nd time, at my 11th ballpark, in 2 days.

I feel like alot more can be contributed to the portion of this video dedicated to the Milwaukee Brewers. It must be noted that the city of Milwaukee was eager for a Baseball team since the departure of the Milwaukee Braves to ATL. Needless to say, the success of the local Brewery "Miller" had a great deal of influence in the team being named "Brewers". & they also began playing as part of the American League, becoming rivals to other AL teams in the Midwest such as the Royals & White Sox. Fast forward to them becoming apart of the National League, they rightfully became Rivals to the St.Louis Cardinals & Chicago Cubs. However many of us here in Kansas City would gladly trade the White Sox or Tigers to the National League in exchange for the Brewers back. This town sure loves when they come to town for the occasional inner league series.

The 1901 Milwaukee Brewers used a name that dated "all the way back to the 1800s." In 1901, that would have been all of 2 years... BTW, the last Browns owner's name, Veeck, is pronouced like Vek. His autobiography was entitled "Veeck as in Wrecl." And, Orioles was also used as a name for two major league teams in the late 1880s. Teams named Baltimore Orioles played in the American Associatipn from 1882-1891, and the Naitonal League from 1892-1899, before being used by the American League team from 1901-1902. And when Babe Ruth played for the minor league Orioles, he WAS a pro. He got paid for playing, which is the definition of a pro[fessional]. He just wasn't a major leaguer.

Totally omitted were the great Baltimore Orioles teams of 1882-1899 with players like John McGraw, Wee Willie Keeler, Hughie Jennings, Joe Kelley, Wilbert Robinson, and Dan Brouthers. They won the Temple Cup (the World Series of the 19th century) in 1896 & 1897. The White Sox did not move from Sioux City to Chicago. In between they were the St. Paul Saints when Charles Comiskey owned the team (1895-1899) and then moved them to Chicago in 1900 and eventually to Comiskey Park in 1910. Bill Veeck's name is not pronounced like "week", rather it is like "wreck" hence his book titled "Veeck As In Wreck".
