One thing about the boston teams you have:

Before they became the Red Sox and Braves (or Bees? I'm not sure for the NL team when the change occurred), the Boston teams didn't have any official names - they were called the Boston Americans and the Boston Nationals most commonly to distinguish between the AL and NL. Other names such as "Pilgrims" were used from time to time in the press but not nearly as often as "Americans"
