Why was the name Philadelphia Blue Jays changed to Philadelphia Phillies?
It was never officially changed from the Phillies, which has been there official name since 1883. Some baseball writers in the 1940s began to call them the "Blue Jays" because of their blue caps, but that nickname was not recognized by the team, the National League, or Major League Baseball. The name of the team that lost on 1883 April 30 has remained the same till their loss on 2011 October 7.

It certainly is possible that one of the teams he barnstormed with made its way through Salina, but I have found no reference of Satchel Paige to Salina. He played for the Salina Blue Jays for awhile. No question about it. Could also be called the Etherington Blue Jays as the name was changed.

Why are the Toronto blue jays in the MLB?
The Toronto Blue Jays' founding ownership group was headed by the Labatt brewery, whose marquee Ontario brand was (and still is) Labatt's Blue Pilsner. Pouring, both from this fact and the from longstanding Toronto sports tradition of sports teams wearing blue (NHL Maple Leafs, IL Maple Leafs, CFL Argonauts, University of Toronto Varsity Blues), Labatt decreed that the name must incorporate the name of the colour. Rumour has it that the "Toronto Blues" was the initial frontrunner before beng displaced by rather harmless migratory birds. Why Blue Jays? I can't really say other than to note that Blue Jays do inhabit the "true north strong and free" and fit in with the baseball tradition of naming teams after nonthreatening birds (Orioles, Cardinals).

Is there any reason why the Blue Jays are called what they are?
the blue jays are named the blue jays because the held a draw for the name. The people of Toronto were asked to submit names that they thought the team should be called. The ballot that was selected had the name blue jays on it. that is why the blue jays are named the blue jays A further actual reason.........the original owners of the franchise in Toronto were a beer company called Labatt's, and their most popular brand of beer, at that time was Labatt's BLUE. I think you can see the connection? The blue jay, the real bird, is blue and white in color, and is loud and has a horrible sounding cry, and is prone to stealing anything that is shiny or glitters, such as tin foil, or plastic. So much for making a great choice of mascot, or emblem.
