[edit] Boston Pigrims

I changed Boston team name from the Pilgrims to the 'Americans'.

Research has shown the name 'Boston Pilgrims' was not used in the early 1900s, and was invented sometime after the fact. See Boston Red Sox for links to the research of papers of the day. The team was simply known as 'Boston' or the 'Boston Americans' (to distinguish from the NL Boston team). The team was named the Red Sox before the 1908 season. Econrad 16:18, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
