    You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but as an aside, would you prefer a designated free throw shooter for guys like Shaq who are truly abysmal at shooting free throws?

    Better yet, a designated three point shooter for Rafer...

    The only reason I post this is because I love this kinda trivia/history stuff. It makes me feel... refined.

    Actually... I don't fault you for not knowing this... as it was the 1890s. lol Yes 18... 90s. Damn trivia question is good for something. lol I had to look up the details but I remembered Baltimore also moved from league to league.

    It's kind of ironic though... Since the Baltimore Orioles used to be the Milwaukee Brewers. Way back when they were a minor league team. Anyhow...

    When the American Association flopped, Baltimore came over to the NL for a few seasons. Then the NL dropped them because they weren't good enough. So they went back to the AL. I don't know if you knew this or not... The AL was the minor league of the NL. :) I always remember that cuz it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

    Anyhow the AL didn't become a competing Major League team till the 1900s. Then, of course, later joined forces to take over the world.

    I think the Detroit Tigers did the same thing. I'm not sure on that though. But yea... The Brewers are the only team I'm aware of to make the swap since the World Series was introduced into the mix.
