	You're missing the original Milwaukee Brewers (who moved to St. Louis after the 1901 season to become the Browns)

	prior to the 90's the Angels were also known as the california angels and should be an acceptable if you are going to accept states when used in other team names.

	I would say that the Angels do not fit, since their location has changed in name only. It's still the Big A, just with rocks in centerfield.

	Good quiz. You should do one for the other 4 major sports (NHL would be tough!) And, I agree with btroup1, the Angels haven't actually moved. But I'm fine with them on the quiz.

	The Angels played in the city of Los Angeles for a while, before their stadium in Anaheim opened in 1966.

	I've made the updates suggested. I knew that there had been an earlier Brewers for overlooked it on the list. When I didn't first see it, I thought it might have been prior to 1900 (which is when I picked my date, although I don't say that). I agree with the suggestion about the Angels (and I do agree that technically they've only moved within the metro area where they've always been).

	You should put the nickname in the first column for each correct answer. It difficult to navigate as is.

	Also, delete the blank final row.

	I hadn't noticed the blank row until my daughter mentioned it. I added some dashes so it would show the other columns. I didn't want to show the current franchises name each time because some names changed (to protect the innocent?) and I didn't want to show the old names because that would give away some answers. The problem lies in not showing the 3rd column until you answer it. Hope this helps.

	I think this would be better if you had to get them in order. As it is, you type in Milwaukee and three things pop up. It's like it's giving you freebies.

	Adamnvillani, I know, but I'm not a big fan of doing them in order games, but that's just me. I know it tends to be somewhat simple. It gives folks some small measure of success. :-)

	Bloomington should be an acceptable answer for the Twins, that was where their stadium was before moving into the Humphreydome. Nice quiz, BTW.

	I like it, but it would be a lot cleaner if the first column was thinner and the third column about twice as wide.
