2. The team that is now known as the Cubs has undergone a great number of name changes. What was the very first name of this old franchise?

From Quiz Chicago Cubs

Answer: Chicago White Stockings

The name White Stockings was a variant of the team name of the most successful baseball franchise at the time, the Cincinnati Red Stockings. The Red Stockings were also the first all-pro team.

The Boston Red Stockings franchise later became the Atlanta Braves.

With player-manager Al Spalding at the helm, the White Stockings won the very first National League pennant over the second place Hartford Dark Blues. There were eight teams in the inaugural National League season. In 1880, this Chicago franchise changed their name to the Colts, but went back to the White Stockings name in 1889. 1890 saw a new name, the Orphans, and that lasted until 1902, when after the season they changed their name to the Cubs.

Fergie would go on to win the Cy Young in 1971 over Tom Seaver of the Mets, and Al Downing of the Dodgers. With the Texas Rangers in 1974, Jenkins was also the Cy Young runner-up to the great Jim 'Catfish' Hunter of the Oakland Athletics.
