Default T206 Leagues / Teams / Team Nicknames

Posted By: S Gross

GREAT list ........... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


As a "SAL" man, myself, just some "additional info:"

In 1911, Columbia was known as the "Commies" (why, I have no idea).
In 1911, Jacksonville was known as the "Tarpons."

Oh, and my favorite: The SAL Orphans ......

Hopefully, there is a Charlestonian out there who can verify (or expand) on the Charleston situation. My understanding is Charleston folded at the end of '09, and the league ran the team as the SAL Orphans in '10. In '11, when Charleston re-entered the league, the Orphans still remained (to make it an 8 team league).


Fun stuff
