	Before anyone starts bitching, know that there were 2 separate Senators franchises, as well as 2 separate Orioles franchises (teams that were started at different times and with separate histories, etc.). Those aren't typos or errors, that's just baseball history.

	The Orioles actually were first the Milwaukee Brewers for a year before moving to St. Louis.

	You're absolutely right. Good catch.

	First, oughtta be forced choice in my opinion (otherwise it quickly becomes randomly naming cities.) Second, Brooklyn is in New York, so even though "Brooklyn" is the location in the city "New York" should count. Still, nice quiz.

	the team was the Brooklyn Dodgers so New York shouldn't count.

	Yes, they were the Brooklyn Dodgers, but it would be flat out wrong to say they didn't play in New York City.

	Actually, Giants is wrong. While they did start in New York State they did not start in the city of New York. The Troy Trojans were actually the first team to move in professional sports history moving from Troy, New York (not in the New York Metropolitan area) to New York City becoming the New York Gothams, later the New York Giants and finally the San Francisco Giants.
