    		Q#1: The Detroit Tigers are NOT the only team to have played under the same city and team name since their inception.
    Q#2: Wrong

    		The excellent baseball-reference.com and the venerable Total Baseball (1998 edition)list the "White Sox" as the only team name for Chicago's AL franchise. Your referenced website (which is a good one, BTW), as well as MLB.com, contend that they were called the "White Stockings" in their earliest years. I would assume that MLB.com has to be correct, so you are, in fact, right. But the Tigers are not the answer to the second question.

    		Actually, I'm not sure if you get any YAYS. I keep seeing conflicting information about Chicago's early name (was it White Stockings or always White Sox?). Your second answer is still wrong, even according to the website you referenced.

    		Ok, sorry. The correct answer to the 2nd question the Pittsburgh Pirates.

    I just noticed that there is a Major League Baseball team named the Washington Nationals, I do not remember there being such a team, when did this happen, and also were any teams kicked out of the Major League because of this?

    Which two major league teams played the only triple-header in baseball history, and what was the result? These games were played in 1920. My source does not specify that it was an MLB game but I believe both teams currently compete in the Major League.
