Recommended structure
Canonical thought name:
Knoxville Sox
Aliases:
Knoxville White Sox
Knox Sox
Knoxville Sox (1972–1979)
Notes: Add a clearly labeled source mapping, for example:
Identity
One real-world Knoxville Sox franchise, active in Knoxville from 1972–1979.
Use this thought as the canonical entity for all databases.
StatsCrew source mapping
StatsCrew contains two records with the same displayed franchise name: Knoxville Sox
- 1972–1973 record:
t-ks12377 - 1974–1979 record:
t-ks12372
These are treated here as two StatsCrew database records for one franchise,
not as separate Knoxville franchises.
URL policy
Use one preferred StatsCrew URL as the primary attachment/link.
Retain the second URL only as a clearly labeled historical or alternate
StatsCrew record, for traceability.
Interpretation
The split appears to be a StatsCrew data-linking/database artifact. It does
not represent a relocation, ownership change, or separate franchise lineage.
