T205 issued in 1913?
Posted By: Alex
The New York American League team in the 1911 T205 set is shown as being the "New York Yankees". According to baseball-reference.com, this team was known as the "New York Highlanders" from 1903 until 1912; the name was changed to the "New York Yankees" in 1913. |

T205 issued in 1913?

Teams really didn't have hard a fast nicknames until the late teens. Up to that point, teams had several nicknames, but there is usually one accepted name for a given era. Many times, teams would take their nicknames from star players, such as the Cleveland Naps (Napoleon Lajoie), or their manager, such as the Brooklyn Robins (for Wilbert Robinson). I am pretty sure the name Yankees was used by sportswriters and fans for several years before it was officially adopted. |

Jay is correct that most teams used several names. The Dodgers from 1910 to 1930 had at least five nicknames including the Dodgers, the Trolley Dodgers, the Robins, the Superbas, and the Supers... |

I'm also on the 1911 bandwagon. Minor leaguer Hick Cady was signed by the Red Sox in late 1911, this was also the only year in which the Boston Rustlers were named as such and Jimmy Collins retired after the 1911 season. |
