The owner of Cleveland named the team the Spiders because he said the players had a skinny,spidery build.That seems like the worst way to chose a team name,picking out a bad character flaw among the players.I could see a manager saying Alot of my players came from homes where the parents are divorced so im going to name them the Broken Homers.Above is an 1892 team picture
