Not your question, but in my contemporary sims I move the Pirates to New Orleans, and rechristen them the "Buccaneers". So that they are still pirates but also get a new name in a new city that definitely had real pirates hanging out back in the day.

But we all have our bias and predilections. I can't stand "Expos" or "Astros" as team names. A defunct, money-losing fair and a dated reference to space travel now taking place in Texas and Florida? The transplanted Rays are the Montreal Mounties. And, with a nod to history, Houston is the Colts - without the gun reference.
