Not Jim Thorpe, sorry

Peter you are wrong. Another hint.

Not Jim Kendrick

[QUOTE=Eric72;2430392]Here are a few less-commonly-known shared team names (at least one each baseball and football) from throughout the years:

- Blues
- Braves
- Colonels
- Colts
- Cowboys
- Dodgers
- Indians
- Maroons
- Pirates
- Reds
- Senators
- Tigers [/COLOR]

My team is not on your list, but this is not a trick. You included the Maroons, but left out out a team that is much better known. Your list is not complete.
