词汇 | boston braves |
词源 | Boston Braves. A National League baseball team that was named after the New York City Tammany Hall political ma- chine. Tammany politicians had invested in the club in 1912 and since members of the political club were called “braves,” in honor of the Indian chief for whom Tammany was named, the name was applied to players on the baseball team. The Braves moved from Boston to Milwaukee in 1953 and later moved on to Atlanta. See dodgers. |
