Baltimore Orioles
Were the Baltimore Orioles originally the Black Sox?
I noticed on the game tonight that they were wearing uniforms with "Black Sox" written on them. I came late into the game and didn't get any info. Someone out there please enlighten me!
The current Baltimore franchise started out as a charter member of the American League as the Milwaukee Brewers in 1901. In 1902 they moved to St. Louis and renamed the Browns. There they remaned until moving to Baltimore in 1953 and became the Orioles.
The current American League New York team played its first two years as the Baltimore Orioles.
The Chicago White Sox were not nick named "The Black Sox" because of the alleged 'fix' in 1919, but actually the year before the nick name began appearing because Chicago owner Charles Comisky was too cheap to launder the players uniforms.
Other major league teams in various major leagues that played in Baltimore have been known as the Terrapins, the Marylands, the Monumentals and Lord Baltimores. Black Sox may have been the nick name of a Negro League team that played there at one time or another.
