Very fun quiz! Nominated. Would it be possible to allow type-ins for singular franchises (for instance, could 'Dodgers' work for all previous incarnations of the club?)?

8:08 ... Great quiz. Loved it, and nominated it. Two suggestions, though. (one of which I know will never happen) 1. Might want to accept "Yanks", as most other MLB quizzes on JetPunk do. 2. Reverse the order. List them chronologically, since that's how they happened, and that's how most people more easily remember them. I can never understand the decision to list them backwards, though I understand that's the way it's always done here.

BTW, well done listing the 1903 WS winners as the "Americans" and not the "Pilgrims". (though Americans was an unofficial nickname, IIRC)

I disagree with reversing the order. I think most people would think of the more recent ones first

I got every single one except the 1984 Detroit Tigers! Aaargh.

(And I was at Comerica Park earlier this month.)
