Baseball season is underway, and I am very excited! One of
my favorite things to do in the summer is sit outside at a
baseball game on a sunny afternoon with a hot dog in my
hand. It's the best!
Today I have for you the origins of some MLB team names...
check it out!
Enjoy!

RANDOM TIDBITS
Los Angeles Dodgers?The club resided in Brooklyn, N.Y.,
from 1890?1957 and was named the Trolley Dodgers in
reference to the borough's maze of trolley lines near the
Brooklyn Bridge. It was later shortened to Dodgers and the
name stuck even after the team moved to Los Angeles in
1958.
***
Detroit Tigers?In 1901, players on Detroit wore yellow and
black socks. Editor Philip Reid thought they were similar
to those worn by the Princeton University Tigers football
team.
***
San Francisco Giants?In the 1880s when the club was in New
York and known as the Gothams, manager Jim Mutrie stood up
in the dugout after a win and referred to the team as "my
Giants."

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Pittsburgh Pirates?The franchise was called the Innocents
until 1891 when it signed second baseman Lou Bierbauer. His
old club, the Philadelphia Athletics, and its fans weren't
at all happy about the way Bierbauer was "obtained" and
dubbed his new club the Pirates because they "pirated" the
star player away from them.
***
Montreal Expo?The Expos are named after Expo '67, the
world's fair held in Montreal two years before the team's
inaugural game. The fair ran for the entire year and drew
approximately 50 million people.
***
Houston Astros?Formerly known as the Colt 45s, the team was
renamed the Astros in 1965 in reference to Houston's new
NASA Space Center.
