Casey Stengel Kansas City Blues with Red Sox on jersey?
 
I noticed Casey Sengel played in the minors for the Kansas City Blues in 1910. The pictures I've seen of him from that time show the team name as Kansas City Red Sox on the front of his jersey? Was this a different team? Why would it say Red Sox if he played for a team called the Blues? Were they a minor league team for the Red Sox? Thanks for your help!

The Kansas City Red Sox were a semi-pro team that had no affiliation with the minor league Blues or the Boston Red Sox.
