  1. The Ferguson Browns

    The Bronx Cheers

    The Baltimore Destroyers

    The Chicago Executioners

    Taking suggestions for “The ———– Dindoo Nuffins.”

  2. The only ones I thought were real…weren’t. Sturge has failed completely. Then again, I’ve never found much use for watching or studying sports. There’s only so much daylight in a day.

  3. I actually got them all right…which is really kinda’ sad. There were some other major league teams from the late 19th and early 20th centuries with names like the Louisville Colonels, Detroit Wolverines, Boston Beaneaters (later the Pilgrims, then the Red Sox), Chicago Orphans (later the Cubs), New York Highlanders (Yankees), Cleveland Naps (named after their star player and manager Napolean Lajoie—and late known as the Indians), Brooklyn Trolley-Dodgers (Dodgers), etc.
