Baseball Team Names
Posted By: Elliot
I understand the teams being called the White Stockings or the Red Socks, but how did the team name come to me shortened to Sox? Obviously, at some point some newspaperman tight for space might have contracted it, but why would the teams take on the contraction as the official name?
