Talk:1880 Worcester Ruby Legs
I had the source, but then misplaced it. Apparently the Worcester baseball team was called the Worcester Worcesters. Will go looking for source. - Yuriy 43.
Team names were very fluid in those days and usually derived from local journalists finding nuicknames for the local squad to pepper their reports; rival papers would refer to the same team by different names. I wouldn't go about changing our pages unless you can find something extremely official. --Philippe 02:13, 4 November 2012 (EST)
