T206 Leagues / Teams / Team Nicknames
Posted By: Craig W
Out of curiosity, I decided to try to figure out all the teams represented in the T206 set, the nicknames of the teams, and which leagues they were in. Found some old posts, but none really pulled it all together (and there were a few errors in those posts). For those who are also curious, here's what I came up with: |

Please refresh my foggy memory. Who from Montreal had cards in the T206 set? I can't recall anyone. |

fascinating to see that some of the clubs have such long minor league traditions that continue to this day, such as the Toledo Mud Hens, Memphis Chicks, and Milwaukee Brewers... |

The St. Paul team was known as the Saints. The Apostles was a short-lived moniker for the team from the 1884 era. |

Was Cleveland the Naps in 1909 or still the Spiders? When did Boston AL change from the Pilgrims to the Red Sox? |

T206 Leagues / Teams / Team Nicknames
Posted By: Todd Schultz
according to "Batter-Up, A Century of Minnesota Baseball, by Ross Berenstein, the St. Paul team was the North Star Club in 1867, the "Red Caps" in the 1880's, the Apostles in the short-lived Union Assoication of 1884, and the independendent "Saints" in the early 1890's. The author notes "after the season, Comiskey bought the 1894 Western League Champion Sioux City Cornhuskers, and moved it to St. Paul--where he renamed it the Saints. They would still also be referred to the Apostles during this era as well". So draw your own conclusions I guess. I believe they are widely regarded by Minnesotan basbeall historians as the Saints though. |

Thanks Todd, fantastic reference! I've edited the list to say there's evidence for both. Too bad nobody bothered to burn the info on CD back in the 1880's-1900's ... they shoulda known it could lead to major heartache 100+ years later! LOL! |

Craig, it does seem that the team Comiskey bought in 1894 eventually became the White Sox, so Commiskey's St Paul team is not the one that played when T206 came out. The new St Paul team then started up in 1902 in the AA. It's possible the locals were mad at the move of the old team and they rebelled by calling the new team something else, or maybe Commy considered the name his property. It's worth looking into I believe, and you may be right about the Apostles. From what I've read about the players, though, I think we can rule out them being called the Altar Boys. |

Craig, thank you for posting this. A while back I purchases an interesting Milwaukee Brewers baseball schedule from the Milwaukee Sentinel. I haven't had time to research this item, but I thought that it might be from the T206 era. The opposing teams that are listed on this schedule are all from the American Association teams that you listed. |

in the list above, for the purpose of T206 categorization, is it correct that:
American & National = Major League American Association & Eastern League = Minor League South Atlantic/Southern/Texas/Virginia = Southern League Thank you!
