This is really interesting, but it's hard to know what type-ins are allowed. Sometimes the city is required, sometimes not.

I understand the concern and really do not know how to handle that. On one hand, if the laundry has moved between cities, I would think we should acknowledge both cities. If the team name is the same between franchises, that's also worth celebrating, correct? That said, I would happily defer to the masses.

Nice history quiz. I was thinking Cleveland Spiders, not sure why. I scored 57/89 = 64%, not too bad. Thanks for the quiz!
