Because they were named after the Maple Leaf regiment of the Canadian Army. Since Maple Leaf is a proper noun, the correct plural is Maple Leafs, not Maple Leaves.
SN's Evanka and Ried keep saying Verlander's human after all... as is MLB network, pissing me off. Guy goes 6 giving up 3 hits, 1 XBH, 1HBP, 0 walks and 9 K's, yup he's human after all, idiots!
