What are the other names for the Cubs?
Chicago's NL franchise was originally known as the White Stockings, but it went through an assortment of monikers before and after player-manager Cap Anson's time with the team. The club was called Anson's Colts for a while, and was then dubbed the "Orphans" after the team cut ties with Anson (their "Pop") after 1897.
