The Gothams became the Giants not the Padres. The Padres were and expansion team in 1969 and were never known by another name. The Pistons should be the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons. I would have it so you needed the city and team name. many of these are easy just by typing in the same team name as listed.

Dude, Padres? Really? And the Lakers were originally the Detroit Gems. Otherwise good quiz, but I think you should have put in both city and team name.
