@BaseballQuotes1 The Browns did NOT turn into the Cardinals. They turned into the Orioles. Where did you get your research?
@BaseballQuotes1 It both is and isn’t named after the bird at the same time lol. U are right story goes a local news writer heard a woman exclaim “What a lovely shade of Cardinal” the Perfectos had and wrote a story on it which stuck. But to know what Cardinal Red is obviously came from the bird.
@BaseballQuotes1 Thank God for Branch Rickey going to that luncheon
@BaseballQuotes1 Feel like though that the browns were still a functioning baseball team for a few years after the creation of the cardinals
