Hey everyone! Was brought to my attention that I made some state mispronunciations in the video. I apologize, I am from Canada, I come from an Igloo and i am not educated. With that being said, I should have taken some time to really look up the names further. Thank you for the constructive criticism!
I definitely heard you pronounce Milwaukee as Milawaukee consistently, and even though I am not a fan of anything regarding Wisconsin, it kinda rustled my jimmies hearing you say that, ngl I figured it was either a speech impediment or an accent, and I'll take being Canadian as an excuse lol
With respect, it's not just states and cities, there's a lot you pronounce incorrectly. And don't use "I'm Canadian"...I'm Canadian and I don't know anyone who pronounces "pirating" that way. Great video though, big respect. Thank you for making it.
When the Dodgers changed the team name to the Robins it was to honor its beloved manger Wilbert Robinson. When he stepped down after the 1931 season the team reverted back to the Dodgers. Wilbert Robinson was the manger of the team for 18 years and is in the Hall of Fame.
Dodgers still works for LA nowadays, instead of dodging street cars in the bustling borough of Brooklyn, they have to dodge drivers going 110mph in a 25mph zone!
It was the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, not Bridge grooms. After six of their players were married during and after the 1888 season, the club was called the Bridegrooms.
Dropping "Devil" from their name also allowed the Rays to now invoke the rays of the sun as a new inspiration for the team name, as seen by the sunburst graphic in the new logo. (Whether or not the Rays' name still also refers to the fish is debatable.)
Unknowingly, the Kansas City Royals name pays tribute to two of KC's past teams. KC's long-time American Association team was called the Blues, and the Negro League team was the Monarchs. Royal is a shade of blue; and royal and monarch are related terms.

Just a quick Check - the all orange Giants cap was a spring training cap only for this season - never worn in a season game . Giants wear black caps with an orange SF and button on the top . Occasionally they wear a 1970’s retro black cap with orange bill .
@@torreyblair8361 I originally thought that was a okay, thingfor some odd reason I wasn't sure if I should suggest I trust white Sox fans or not,I preferred the cubs before that time,and my thoughts have changed since then ,there is no longer any need for a new favorite,but I don't know if I made a mistake.
I am a bit disappointed that you mention the 2021 name change from Indians to Guardians, but don't say what the Guardians name is based on. It's based on the Guardians of Traffic, the eight statues built into the pylons at both ends of the Hope Memorial Bridge, which is immediately to the southwest of the stadium, and which many fans drive over on their way to a game.
I actually had never heard why my Cubs got their name, and Wikipedia never had a good explanation whenever I would look it up. It's satisfying knowing the origin of their name at long last thanks to this video, which is honestly the sole reason I even clicked on it. I knew the Bears got that name because, at least according to my dad, football players tend to be bigger than baseball players, so instead of just going off the trend of football teams naming themselves after their cities' baseball teams, Halas named the Bears as such because they're bigger than Cubs, but neither of us had any information on why the Cubs were called that name. Now I finally know, and should share this with my dad. Wikipedia hadn't provided proper timelines for the Cubs' previous nicknames, either, so now I guess I finally know that. I do recall hearing that they got the Orphans nickname because their ballpark burned down in the Great Chicago Fire, come to think of it, and that's not something you brought up in this video, but that's neither here nor there. ETA: If you don't mind, would you update the Wikipedia page for the Cubs to include why they're called the Cubs so that other Cubs fans can easily find that out? I don't know what your source is, but I don't recall being able to see it on the Cubs' own website, so adding it to their Wikipedia page would probably help out other curious Cubs fans when they get asked why the team is named the Cubs
Aside from the Giants, which other football teams were named after the city's baseball team? (No, the Cardinals don't count, as they already had the name before relocating to St. Louis before eventually moving to Phoenix.)
The Guardians name was taken from the guardians of transportation statues located on the Hope Memorial Bridge just feet west of Progressive Field, the father of legendary comedian Bob Hope was a stone Mason who worked on the statues
Ya, its supposed to be 1900s. Editing mistake. This video was so long and had so much stuff, it seems some small stuff was missed while reviewing unfortunately.
@@BottomoftheInning that’s fair, this video is very well-made video. I will say that the Yankees organization and baseball historians themselves have repeatedly stated that the Baltimore Orioles team from that era has no real connection to the New York Yankees besides maybe the ownership situation. Other than that, they are completely separate clubs.
Didn’t mention why the Mets wear orange and blue. Orange for the Giants and blue for the Dodgers. Trying to bring old Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants fans away from the Yankees.
Overall, this isn't a bad video, but this guy should have looked up how to pronounce these things before he made the video. He seems to add extra A's to words or emphasize the wrong syllable or straight up mispronounce things. Milawaukee? (Mil-wok-ee), Bridge Grooms? (Bridegrooms; as in Bride and Groom), Super Baz? (Superb Uz), Miny in apolis? (Mini-Apolis).
Thanks for the constructive criticism, you're right. I'm from Canada and I thought I was pronouncing the states correctly, I should've looked into the names. No excuses for bridegrooms, I just read it wrong off my document unfortunately.
@@BottomoftheInning actually now that I think about it. I think you're actually pronouncing it correctly 😂 just no one here annunciates all the syllables like you're supposed to. You're educated. We're lazy lol
@@joshuajay471 What do you mean all of the syllables? That would imply there's actually an "a" between the two consonants (like the argument of how to pronounce "caramel"), but there isn't.
NATIONALS - when the 1961-70 Senators moved to Texas, they kept the copyright to "Senators" so choosing another name when Montreal moved to DC had nothing to do with DC not having US Senators. ROCKIES - I believe in the popular poll, Denver Bears and Denver Zephyrs (old minor league names) finished ahead of Rockies, but management went with Rockies anyway. DODGERS - it wasn't "Super-bahs" it was "Superb-ahs". Superb means 'great'. ROYALS - all KC teams use variations of a ruler or leader: KC Monarchs in the Negro Leagues, KC Chiefs in football, etc. Had nothing to do with a stock show. TWINS - the AL blocked the name "Twin City Twins", and only allowed "Minnesota Twins" as a compromise. (Interesting in that the AL president was the brother in law of the Twins owner.) Nothing to do with state government. (BTW it's "Mini-ap-o-lis", not "Mini-a-ap-o-lis"...although the team first played in Bloomington MN.) ANGELS - when the city of Anaheim gave the team some financial help, it required the team be called "Anaheim", first Anaheim Angels, then when a new owner wanted a new name, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to not violate the agreement with Anaheim. RANGERS - the area's previous minor league team was the Dallas-Ft. Worth Rangers. BTW before the 1970s, ALL teams wore gray road uniforms. It wasn't something the Red Sox invented.
I always call Cleveland Indians Chief Wahoo should be name .😊😊😊😊😊 Chief Wahoo, Indians Chief Wahoo Indians Chief Wahoo 😊😊😊😊😊😊. You need calling them right name Cleveland Indians Chief Wahoo.
You’re also incorrect. Cleveland was known as the spiders prior to 1900. That’s why many of the fans wanted to call the team the spiders rather than the stupid thing they called them now

its pronunced mill-wah-kee not mil-a-wah-kee
It aint a vid by me if there isnt a pronunciation error it seems. I apologize as a Canadian, im dumb.

Well to be totally honest and kinda gay, the Milwaukee Native Americans, whom the name is taken after actually pronounce it that way.. Mil-a-Wahkee
@@thehalfmanTLIs being gay a bad thing? Not trying to be a jerk but come on man lol

Oh man, what about the Mets colors being the Giants orange and Dodger blue? Prob the only trivia I know about them, haha
The lettering especially traces back to the Giants.
And Yankee pinstripes.
Oh wow, I didn't know that one. Thanks
It was the Brooklyn Bridegrooms, not Bridge grooms.
After six of their players were married during and after the 1888 season, the club was called the Bridegrooms.
Fun fact, the Phillies briefly changed thier name to the Blue Jays for 2 seasons in the 1940's but the fans didn't like it, so it was changed back
Dropping "Devil" from their name also allowed the Rays to now invoke the rays of the sun as a new inspiration for the team name, as seen by the sunburst graphic in the new logo. (Whether or not the Rays' name still also refers to the fish is debatable.)
They're called the "Mantarrayas" in Spanish so yes
everyone focusing on mispronunciations but this a great video bro keep it up
Love this video. Great job.
Unknowingly, the Kansas City Royals name pays tribute to two of KC's past teams. KC's long-time American Association team was called the Blues, and the Negro League team was the Monarchs. Royal is a shade of blue; and royal and monarch are related terms.
Fun fact mission San Diego was founded on July,16 1769 witch is exactly 200 years before the Apollo 11 rocket launch in theme of the San Diego padres
The Colorado Rockies was the name of their NHL team from 1976-82
Yeah then they changed it
They become New Jersey Devils
I was really hoping the giants were named that because the manager was 9ft tall. Oh well.
