Providing it's the Rays.
A team that doesn't have courage of conviction enough to stand up to the fringe :villagers: for it's own name? If Boston management had so little spine they'd have dropped "Red" from their name during the MacCarthy era, the Cincinnatti team might today be nameless and the hockey team in Detroit Winging it! :bat:
Courage of conviction to stand up for its own name? You're obviously unaware that the team you claim to root for has changed it's name 4 times. I wouldn't expect a fringe (see bandwagon) fan to know that though.
The Red Sox had their start as the Boston Americans. A couple of years later they used the names Somersets and Pilgrims. Then as a throwback to the Boston Red Stockings team that played in Boston in the late 1800's they took the name Red Sox.
Feel free to ignore baseball history and go on spewing nonsense from the mouth like a typical Red Sox fan. Give me a break.
