    the brewers were the seattle pilots

    the whalers are the bluejackets

    boston braves are in Atlanta

    and I believe the senators are no more

    didn't the Texans become the oilers ?

      YOu have way too much time on your hands. I appreciate the effort, but dude...

      At least I use my time in reasonable, informative, interesting subjects and methods. Not just to rant and gripe constantly. I do my share of that, but unlike you...it is only a share...not my entire product line.

Now you know why we call them the Dumb Ass Texans...they can't think of an original name for their teams.

                      13. Decatur Staleys - Chicago Bears Check

                      15. Washington Senators - Texas Rangers Half right.

                      16. Cincinnati Royals - Kansas City Kings? Another good catch...they became the KC Kings...but Who are they Now?

                          .....boston braves are in Atlanta Half right.

                          I remember the Milwaukee Braves and Henry Aaron becoming the Atlanta Braves.

                          I also remember a friend of mine and I threw out ALL of our cards, complete late 1940s and 1950s and more with NFL complete team sets. Still sick about that one always tell my wife I could have bought her a Mercedes.

                          GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND!

                              there's something to be said when a team moves and changes their name. Yeah move and the name stays the same and is stoopid?

                              I give you- Minneapolis Lakers- LA Lakers. The nearest "real' lake of any significance to LA is Tahoe, a 7 hour drive.

                              Arizona Cardinals. By way of Chicago and St. Louis. Aren't any Cardinals in Arizona that I know of. Rattlers? Scorpions?

                              Utah Jazz, (New Orleans) Pioneers would have been more appropriate.

                                    there's something to be said when a team moves and changes their name. Yeah move and the name stays the same and is stoopid?

                                    I give you- Minneapolis Lakers- LA Lakers. The nearest "real' lake of any significance to LA is Tahoe, a 7 hour drive.

                                    Arizona Cardinals. By way of Chicago and St. Louis. Aren't any Cardinals in Arizona that I know of. Rattlers? Scorpions?

                                    Utah Jazz, (New Orleans) Pioneers would have been more appropriate.

                                    In the case of some of the above team, many/most did change their name upon moving. A few changed their name while being in the same city. Look at the Indians..fka Bronchos, fka Naps

                                        Yawn, ask me in 2028, that's the year the lease is up. Told you a bunch of times, can't be broken. Sure, Haslam spent tens of millions of his own money on stadium upgades so he could move to greener pastures. Gips already pointed out, there really are none, at least those that would be willing to fork out a billion or two for a new stadium.

                                          .....boston braves are in Atlanta Half right.

                                          I remember the Milwaukee Braves and Henry Aaron becoming the Atlanta Braves.

                                          I also remember a friend of mine and I threw out ALL of our cards, complete late 1940s and 1950s and more with NFL complete team sets. Still sick about that one always tell my wife I could have bought her a Mercedes.

                                          Boston Baseball Braves moved to Milwaukee in early 50s, then on to Atlanta in the 60s.

                                          But...there was another Boston Braves in another sport...which is the other half of the answer to this question!
