The same holds true for the Yankees. The legend on the Maris card is “New York Yankees”, but on Mantle it’s “N.Y. Yankees”. Not sure why the discrepancy, it’s not due to a space issue where it is on the card or anything. Berra also got “N.Y. Yankees”.
I guess there was just less insinuated need for precision back in the day…
