	Iron Pigs & Mud Hens need to become Major League teams. Pronto.

	DoctorNick14:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 17:52 GMT	12 points
	The Iron Pigs are called the "Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs", but are located in Allentown, PA.

	amwoods13:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 17:54 GMT	18 points
	Lehigh Valley is not the town where the Iron Pigs play, its just a reference to the general area. They actually play in Allentown. Allentown should at least be an accepted answer if not THE answer since the question asks what city these teams play in.

	alaric1224:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 17:58 GMT	31 points
	I'm not good at this... I like how Springfield is accepted for the Topes though, go topes!

	adamnvillani:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 17:58 GMT	7 points
	I agree. "Lehigh Valley" should be acceptable, but the question asks for cities, and Allentown is the city. Similarly, I was disappointed to see "Richmond" accepted for the Gwinnett Braves. They don't play in Richmond anymore! And Gwinnett itself is just the county -- the city they play in is Lawrenceville. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees play in Moosic.

	alkeiper:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 18:01 GMT	7 points
	Ditto the Allentown and Moosic comments. The quiz asks for the cities, they should be accepted.

	rockgolf:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 18:15 GMT	7 points
	They didn't call the Gwinnett team the Buttons?!?!

	demonstah:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 18:16 GMT	3 points
	Definitely Allentown - and IronPigs is one word, with the capital P.

	bsd987:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 18:16 GMT	4 points
	Hahaha I love the alternate answer for the Isotopes.

	Commodore:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 18:21 GMT	26 points
	@adamn: Similarly, Moosic isn't a city. It's four blocks and a Denny's. I spent 3 weeks there one night.

	bsd987:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 18:24 GMT	0 points
	Austin should be accepted for the Astros' team. It's part of the same metropolitan area and you accept that for others.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Cael:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 18:34 GMT	8 points
	There should be a double A game. Please.

	adamnvillani:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 18:39 GMT	2 points
	Hmm, Wikipedia sez Moosic is a "borough." I'm not up on what the different forms of municipalities are in Pennsylvania.

	WCRoentgen:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 19:59 GMT	0 points
	Go Pigs! Also, as a lifelong Pennsylvanian who's commented on the city,township, borough issue on other Sporcle quizzes, I'll repeat myself by humbly suggesting that the term "municipality" be used to avoid any confusion or arguments. Or, maybe, "city/municipality".

	mrprocrastinator:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 20:14 GMT	1 point
	Talk about an east coast bias, I knew the entire International League and only a handful of the PCL teams.

	btroup1:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 20:27 GMT	-1 points
	So with a few seconds left, I typed Raleigh. Then I thought, "Well I'll try the sister city. Wait, if Raleigh doesn't than why would they?" Then as the clock hit zero, "duh!" In my defense, it was a single A town when they made the movie.

	TheGreatestDane:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 20:32 GMT	9 points
	i like the fact when you type in "springfield" you get Albuquerque isotopes....gotta love the simpsons

	Mizzoujoe:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 20:41 GMT	2 points
	Thank you MLB: The Show video game series. Knew the PCL from living in ABQ, video game taught me the IL

	springmom:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 21:25 GMT	7 points
	First time I got a baseball answer from Cpl Klinger on MASH!

	IrishYanks:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 22:30 GMT	4 points
	Surprised Buffalo has such a wide margin of % correct. Maybe the Bisons is a dead giveaway?

	johnlk:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 22:41 GMT	3 points
	Hurray, a minor league baseball quiz that doesn't require knowledge of nicknames!

	Theosaurus:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 22:52 GMT	6 points
	@nicoletteyx0, the New Hampshire Fisher Cats are the Double-A affiliate of the Blue Jays. This quiz is for the Triple-A affiliates.

	TheBigD:	Mar 30th, 2010 at 23:43 GMT	1 point
	25/30. I would have had Syracuse but I was thrown off since they changed their name from the Sky Chiefs to the Chiefs. Also whatever happened to Ottawa and Tuscon's teams?

	Matthewconte:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 00:31 GMT	-2 points
	I'm not totally positive on this but I'm pretty sure there is also a Staten Island Yankees. I'm just assuming they aren't Triple A, but it really threw me off.

	omnipotent1:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 00:35 GMT	1 point
	TheBigD, the Ottawa Lynx left about two years ago. For some reason the support just fell off to the point they couldn't draw flies. It was kind of sad really. Tickets were fairly cheap and you could get a night (or day) out. Unfortunately, baseball is a slow game so a lot of the people I talked to told me their kids found it incredibly boring to go to a baseball game. All the kids I saw there were always having a great time.

	Saturn:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 01:18 GMT	1 point
	We are on our 2nd team since the Lynx left. Ontario Intercounty League. The stadium was probably gone if they didn't go in there. Great ballpark too. Ottawa is a fickle city when it comes to sports and the Expos leaving Montreal killed what little interest there was in baseball. Cancelling the World Series crippled the interest. Add to that the fact that it was generally too cold to sit a watch games at night for about 30% of the games for a lot of casual fans.

	lbr218:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 01:37 GMT	2 points
	I've been to two Gwinnett Braves games last year (their inaugural season) they were awful, but the stadium was beautiful and a nice place to sit and enjoy a ballgame (at least the other teams- Durham Bulls and Scranton/WB Yankees) were good. This year they are supposed to be much better. @matthewconte: yes there are the Staten Island Yankees, they are Class-A Short Season.

	Phillyfan17:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 02:00 GMT	2 points
	Go Iron Pigs!

	KevinA715:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 02:21 GMT	1 point
	It's interesting that Richmond is still being accepted as a right answer. Only missed the Reno Aces because I still thought the Diamondbacks' AAA was in Tucson. Don't know when they moved.

	EricMunley:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 02:40 GMT	2 points
	Loved the quiz. I miss my Scranton Wilkes Barre Red Barons!!!

	adamnvillani:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 03:53 GMT	3 points
	I wouldn't take "Austin" for the Round Rock Express, as BSD987 suggested. The only teams where just naming the metro area is taken is when the metro area is what the team is called. Otherwise you could say "Raleigh" for the Durham Bulls, or "Atlanta" for the Gwinnett Braves.

	rockhopperlad:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 04:04 GMT	3 points
	I got 22 right, mostly by naming major cities with no MLB franchise.

	glancb:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 04:20 GMT	1 point
	took me a minute to try to spell albuquerque. great idea for a quiz

	sactoflash:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 13:15 GMT	0 points
	30/30. Great idea for a quiz - it took me quite awhile to figure out where the Yankees affiliate wound up after Cleveland took over in Columbus.

	King_of_Macomb:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 13:53 GMT	9 points
	It's a shame the Scranton team isn't called the "Fightin' Schrutes"

	kbaker1819:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 14:31 GMT	2 points
	Good quiz. Got 28, thanks to baseball video games. Would like to see a AA one.

	LavaGirl:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 15:34 GMT	1 point
	good game, but would have been happy to see Cedar Rapids Kernels (LA Angels)

	subway24:	Mar 31st, 2010 at 16:39 GMT	0 points
	LOL if you type in Springfield it Albuquerque comes up!!!!!! I love The Simpsons!!!
