Talk:Newark Peppers

Merge
I was thinking that the Federal League Hoosiers section of Indianapolis Hoosiers should be merged here, since they were the same franchise. This page should probably be then moved to Indianapolis Hoosiers/Newark Pepper. Any objections? -Dewelar (talk) 19:12, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Peppers/Pepper?
Why has this franchises been retroactively renamed as a singular noun? In all contemporary accounts (newspapers, The Sporting News and The Sporting Life as well as baseball encyclopedias and historical works (Total Baseball and SABR's publication The Federal League), they were called the Peppers (plural), which was occasionally shortened to "Peps".

I note that Baseball-Reference.com currently shows them as "Newark Pepper", but there are many more resources that disagree. -- Couillaud (talk) 12:39, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
