September 27, 200719 yr I'm going to switch my answer of the A's down to #3. There were only a few teams that exist now that were part of the National Assocation. Boston I know was and if that isn't it I know the A's were too. Correct answer is Boston. (Boston Red Sox is not a city)
September 27, 200719 yr Are you trying to get us to say a team like the Newark Pepper or some crazy crap like that??
September 27, 200719 yr Because it is annoying me, I looked it up. The Braves did win it in three different cities. 1914 (Boston Braves) 1947 (Milwuakee Braves) 1995 (Atlanta Braves) Edit: Yeah, so why is she wrong? Something we are missing? The Braves didn't move to Milwaukee until 1953. :mischief But I know you meant 1957.
September 27, 200719 yr This is a stupid question. I have no idea wtf you are asking because it doesn't make sense the way you posed it or no teams in major league baseball fit the way I understand it. Are you trying to trick us with some Negro league stuff? That doesn't count, dude.
September 27, 200719 yr The way to word the question would be: name the cities that never had concurrent franchises yet have won titles in both leagues. Okay, so Baltimore? The old Orioles won in the NL and the New Orioles have won in the AL... Detroit - they had the Wolverines in the NL and Tigers in the AL... Boston - [braves and Red Sox]... Philladelphia - A's and Phillies Those are my 4.
September 27, 200719 yr Are you trying to get us to say a team like the Newark Pepper or some crazy crap like that?? -All but one of the cities to do this still have major league teams. (HINT: This city was later merged with another city because of utilities. :mischief )
September 27, 200719 yr The way to word the question would be: name the cities that never had concurrent franchises yet have won titles in both leagues. Okay, so Baltimore? The old Orioles won in the NL and the New Orioles have won in the AL... That's one.

Boston doesn't count because the Braves and Red Sox shared the city. Detroit is another. (correct answer)
September 27, 200719 yr The correct answers are: Baltimore Detroit Milwaukee Brooklyn (at the time it was a separate municipality from NYC) Cleveland
September 27, 200719 yr My head hurts. Too many stipulations and variables and teams and leagues... I like straightforward questions like: Which team was the first to permanently feature numbers on their uniforms?
September 27, 200719 yr 1. What late 1800s batting champ and future Hall of Famer died in 1901 by falling into Niagara Falls? 2. What other famous hitter and Hall of Famer died in Miami in 1955 by choking to death? 3. How did Yankees manager Billy Martin pass away? I know it's a little morbid, but these were some of the first I thought of.
September 27, 200719 yr Here's a straightforward question. In what year did the Milwaukee Brewers last appear on the AL side of the World Series trophy? Who won the World Series that year?
September 27, 200719 yr what year did the cubs first get their lights on wrigley field? why? were they supposed to get lights before then?
September 27, 200719 yr what year did the cubs first get their lights on wrigley field? why? were they supposed to get lights before then? 1988. MLB threatened to take away HFA in the WS if the Cubs made it in 84. MLB threatened to move future postseason home games elsewhere if lights were not installed after that.
September 27, 200719 yr Here's a straightforward question. In what year did the Milwaukee Brewers last appear on the AL side of the World Series trophy? Who won the World Series that year? '82 and the Cardinals
September 27, 200719 yr What is cool about George Brett's record is that those were the only 3 batting titles he won.
September 27, 200719 yr Here's mine: There are two teams to have called two separate cities home and have never won a World Series in either city. Name them. And for bonus points, name both names and cities for each team.
September 27, 200719 yr Here's a straightforward question. In what year did the Milwaukee Brewers last appear on the AL side of the World Series trophy? Who won the World Series that year? '82 and the Cardinals Nope. 1997 when the Marlins won (obviously). Remember the names of the teams were on the little flags up until a few years ago.
September 27, 200719 yr Here's mine: There are two teams to have called two separate cities home and have never won a World Series in either city. Name them. And for bonus points, name both names and cities for each team. The Expos/Nats and Pilots/Brewers.
