	The Giants originally started in 1883 in the National League as the New York Gothams. Great quiz idea! Source: http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nl/nygiantsb/nygiants.html

	i might be wrong but i think the Reds were known as the Red Legs back then

	jfeigen06:	Mar 29th, 2011 at 06:58 GMT	4 points
	They were the Red Legs in the 1950's during the Red Scare (thanks McCarthy).

	The Orphans became the Cubs in 1903.

	Yeah, the Cubs were the Cubs in 1903.

	It was Washington Senators, not Nationals. Also, Cleveland was nicknamed the Blues until 1904. The Orphans became the Cubs in 1902. Good idea of a quiz... just seems to be off factually.

	I remembered the White Stockings and I knew it was Bean...something in Boston.

	The Reds were originally known as the redstockings

	@powerhouseent: The Indians were the Bluebirds from 1901-02, but in 03 they changed their name to the Naps.

	conradmcmasters:	Mar 30th, 2011 at 01:06 GMT	2 points
	There was no merger between the NL and AL in 1903. There are too many errors in this quiz.

	Twice as many people got Beaneaters correct as got Cubs correct? How is that possible?
