Some other tidbits from “The Baseball Uncyclopedia.”

The worst team nickname in baseball: Tampa Bay Devil Rays. It “sounds like one of those fictional baseball teams you expect to find in a movie whose producers did not have Major League Baseball’s permission to use the names of real teams.”

The ugliest uniforms: The Chicago White Sox wore uniforms in the late 1970s that featured collared jerseys, shorts and white knee socks. The players looked “like some overgrown child who’d outgrown his Sunday school clothes.” Runners-up: Houston Astros and San Diego Padres of the same era. The Astros featured horizontal bands of day-glo orange, yellow and red. The Padres’ fast-food chic uniforms were yellow with brown trim.

Player nicknames: Olaf “Swede” Henriksen, who played in the majors from 1911 to 1917, was not Swedish. He was Danish.

Monument Park: Monument Park at Yankee Stadium honors the team’s all-time greats. But it also honors two Cardinals. Not Stan Musial and Ozzie Smith. Pope Paul VI and Pope John Paul II, both of whom celebrated Mass at Yankee Stadium.

There are no players in the history of the major leagues whose last name begins with the letter X.
