I wonder when they renamed the Braves as the Redskins. TG

This is the information I have Washington Redskins. They started out as the Duluth (Minnesota) Eskimos in 1928. In 1932, because they were having a tough time surviving, they moved to Boston. Their new home was the stadium owned by baseball's Boston Braves (now the Atlanta Braves), so they changed their name to the Boston Braves as well. But the arrangement didn't work out: the following season, the football team moved to Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. To avoid offending the Red Sox (by keeping the name of the local rivals), the football team changed its name from Braves to Redskins. In 1938, the Redskins moved to Washington. Again just remember this is coming from a book called the BEST of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader by the Bathroom Readers' Institute. Probably was writing this while doing other things (if'n you get my drift). Denice
