	The third clue is typed wrong and needs to be fixed as is it makes no sense should read Won their first World Series in their 97th season would be my guess? Also probably two much time, but a GREAT QUIZ

	Yep, that's it. Just copied/pasted the wrong word.

	I love the quiz. One minor adjustment, though. The fifth answer has the wrong year for the Atlanta Braves' championship. They won it in 1995, not 1998. (98 was the Yanks over the Padres)

	The Pirates have something to be proud of! They haven't lost a World Series since 1927.

	I can't really think of any better way to word it, but the question "Appeared in the World Series only twice since 1920" could also apply to teams that were not around in 1920, such as the Padres, Blue Jays, and Marlins.

	@indyjeff..how about "In the league in 1920, but only appeared in WS twice since then."

	You need to specify years for original and expansion teams. The Braves and Cubs are the only two teams that have continuously played in the MLB since its founding in 1876. Teams were added throughout the 1800's and the AL was added in 1901 so while not considered expansion teams, franchises other than those 2 aren't strictly original either.
