The St Paul Saints/Apostles


Twins Video

The note in the MLB Power Rankings for the Twins included mention of the 1884 St Paul White Caps, a team that hit below .200 for a season. 
 

Further research showed that “White Caps”, “Saints” and “Apostles” were all used for the St Paul franchise.  Some standardization to “Saints” came in 1915.  
 

But, hey.. who doesn’t want to be a baseball sicko and refer to the Saints as the Apostles or even the White Caps?

(Every 140 years, our area gets blessed with a sub .200 batting average team!)

Wow.  One week at .347 sure made a difference.  Blessed by a happy string of games!
