Description

Professional baseball, with its rich history and colorful local legends, is full of arcane team names at all levels of the sport.

Some might be surprised, for example, to learn that the major league Dodgers owe their nickname to an 1884 trolley line in Brooklyn.

Fans of popular culture might recognize the Albuquerque Isotopes' origins in an episode of The Simpsons, but who can explain the Asheville Tourists or the Montgomery Biscuits?

This comprehensive reference book explains the origins of all known major, minor and Negro league teams from 1869 through 2011.
