Here are a few that I read about:

Giants: Got the name because of the size of their players at the time (Big if you need that help).

Boston Rustlers ( T202 fame): Named after previous owner that died, his first name was Russ.

Reds: short for Red Legs, but don't know where that came from.

Twins: The Twin Cities Minneapolis, St. Paul. Had to put that in.

My favorite team name was the Boston Beaneaters, I bet they always had gas in their tanks.
