Rich got the current NY Yankees, Phillies, Bears, and Jets. I think he got mixed up on what the question was. The question was "what are these teams names NOW"....not what city were they from when they carried that name.
You would have done poorly on your ACT test by not reading the question properly! :blink:

I suspected you were, but had to be certain. That eliminates the Gothams and Royals from the "to be answered list"

One thing this trivia does point up is how creatively challenged a lot of these pro teams are in terms naming their teams. Of the 25 former names I have listed....Seven of them are now names of different teams, e.g. Browns, Titans, Oilers, Nationals, Texans
