Great quiz! And amazing that you put it together so quickly after I suggested it just last week. :D Good idea to add the note at the bottom, especially for the A's and the Cardinals. In the case of the Athletics, it makes the quiz much more difficult!

In truth, I made the quiz before you suggested it. I guess great minds think alike!

"These sports franchises either moved cities or changed names. Give us the previous name or city." Title notwithstanding, it's pretty plainly spelled out.

Weren't the Arizona Cardinals called the Phoenix Cardinals after St. Louis but before Arizona? Do I have my history wrong? If I have it right, though, wouldn't that be the most recent name change?

almost every team in baseball moved or had name change, including teams like the Cubs, Red Sox and Yankees. The only ones that haven't are the D-backs, Rockies, Tigers, White Sox, Marlins, Royals, Mets, and Padres

Chicago Cardinals? or Philadelphia A's?

One bone to pick. Washington Wizards were the Washington Bullets, the Baltimore Bullets before that. Tennesee Titans were the Tennessee Oilers, and the Houston Oilers before that. Just an inconsistency.

for those asking about earlier teams.....there is a note at the bottom saying the MOST RECENT change, so while the braves were in boston before milwaukee, and the a's in philly, and the wizards in baltimore...those are not the MOST RECENT. That being said, quizmaster, you need to update your acceptable answers to the MOST RECENT changes, as well: Phoenix Cardinals, Washington Bullets, and Tennessee Oilers should be the only acceptable answers for those questions.
