and changed their names to the Perfectos before settling on the Cardinals in 1901.

Two other American League teams took older names of NL clubs in the same cities. The Cubs were called the Whitestockings before the White Sox were formed and the Braves were called the Redstockings in Boston before the Red Sox.
