I just looked on baseball-reference.com, and I could find only one historical pro baseball team that had a singular name.

The Newark Pepper was a Federal League team in 1915. Their roster included Bill McKechnie, Edd Roush, Germany Schaefer and Ed Reulbach.

Utah Jazz.

If that's not the most absurd major sports team name of all time I will eat my hat.

Yeah baby, those Mormon cats can swing and rip it up all night long. . . .

(And yes I know where the name came from. It's still incredibly ridiculous.)

Utah’s Team was transplanted from New Orleans. They decided to keep the Jazz name rather than switch to the Utah Tabernacles.

Red Sox and White Sox?

Whatever a sox is it doesn’t seem to be plural.
