	Technically when the Pirates played at Recreation Park it was not part of Pittsburgh yet, it was still Allegheny City.

	too much time

	simo:	Jan 26th, 2010 at 19:03 GMT		-2 points
	all these teams are professional teams

	who are the Rochester Red Wings?

	If the Rochester Red Wings are referring to the hockey team, how is Detroit the same city as Rochester?

	simo:	Jan 26th, 2010 at 20:24 GMT		3 points
	the rochester red wings are a triple a team (and minor league baseball is still professional baseball)

	If you are going to use minor league teams than you need to specify it. Otherwise it's assumed you mean the top professional sports leagues, as almost every other sporcle quiz does.

	good quiz...untill rochester. That ruined it.

	geowiz85:	Jan 26th, 2010 at 22:29 GMT		-1 points
	i dont think rochester ruined it, just specify that they are all baseball teams, and instead of having the clue read one isnt professional, make it say one is in the minor leagues

	hockeyboy87:	Jan 26th, 2010 at 23:38 GMT		3 points
	if you put the rochester red wings up there, then put the buffalo bisons, who started playing baseball in 1879

	DBurg:	Jan 26th, 2010 at 23:38 GMT		2 points
	I'm with several people above. It's kind of assumed that you mean top professional leagues. If AAA baseball makes the cut, then why not include Notre Dame or Michigan football? They're American sports teams that have played continuously in the same city since the 1800's.

	Cannot include Rochester.

	Nice quiz except for Rochestor. Also, too much time. Basically it is naming the original NL teams that haven't moved.

	blaha:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 03:25 GMT		0 points
	Notre Dame and Michigan are universities, and therefore not professional teams.

	adamnvillani:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 04:25 GMT		4 points
	The Bisons had a gap between 1970 and 1979 when they didn't play, so they should not count.

	Kevin:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 05:30 GMT		3 points
	blaha, please point out where in the quiz it says this is restricted to professional teams.

	sinatra22:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 16:11 GMT		1 point
	I could've sworn the Detroit Tigers have been around since the 1800's. I guess I'm wrong.

	@Skine: Very clever, hiding your clue in plain sight like that. There really is a pretty blatant clue so there should be no complaints.

Since minor league baseball is still professional baseball, and thus the clue is totally wrong, you might want to change it to "One of the teams is not in the major leagues," or "One of the teams is not in a premiere league."

	Gotta love the tradition of the NLC.

	jaspa:	Jan 27th, 2010 at 17:30 GMT		3 points
	Ok, its driving me nuts. Where's the blatant clue?

	jesusranch12:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 01:09 GMT		2 points
	if they are aaa its still professional. the clue should be its not from a major league

	@jaspa: Look up. Waaaay up. See that line near the top of the browser? The one that start "http://www"? Just keep reading.

	Sorry, I forgot that I had made this quiz. To answer questions: @sox_fan1468927: You're coreect, that it wasn't technically in Pittsburgh until the annexation in 1907. I'm leaving it in though. @geowiz85: Yes I realize I made a mistake, saying that the one wasn't professional. This was a mistake on my part. However, I don't think I need to specify that all are baseball teams. Baseball was the only highly-popular professional American sport until the eartly-mid 1900's. @hockeyboy87: Technically, no. @DBurg: Sorry, I did not mean to imply college, or even non-professional. The problem is that the title was restricted to too few characters. I apologize for this. @sinatra22: At first glance, it would appear that Detroit fits the bill. However, I'll need to look into it.

	Make the quiz a minute and get rid of Rochester. That would make it a fun quiz.
