How well do you know the history of baseball uniforms? How well do you know geography? This fun activity will put your knowledge of both subjects to the test. The yellow dots on the map below represent cities that are homes to major league clubs. Some dots correspond to two clubs, when both teams are located close to one another, such as the Oakland A’s and San Francisco Giants, or the Los Angeles Dodgers and Anaheim Angels (formerly known as the Los Angeles Angels and California Angels). Your job is to read each clue, guess the club described, then match the city of the club to its location on the map. For example, the answer to clue #1 below is “The 1942 St. Louis Cardinals.” Since St. Louis is represented on the map by yellow dot “W,” the correct answer is “W.” Note that some of the answers may correspond to clubs that no longer exist or have since moved, but that at one time played in the city corresponding to the letter. Remember, there are four pairs of clubs that share the same location, so some letters will be repeated as answers. |
