OT/ Trivia. Seems easy, but....
 
Name the two most northern cities which have ever hosted a World Series.

frankbmd 05-11-2012 04:11 PM

Minneapolis and Toronto

Funny that the two northern most cities, Seattle and Montreal, are only two where a world series was never played !!!

Going to guess, Minneapolis and Boston

tbob 05-11-2012 04:39 PM

Minneapolis is one. Toronto and Boston are wrong.

Is the other Milwaukee?

Nope. Close.

tbob 05-11-2012 05:00 PM

Hint: think small cities which don't have a major league club anymore....

Bloomington

If that's the answer and Minneapolis and Bloomington are counted separately, that's a pretty bogus question. :)

St. Paul ?

That's if maybe you count the American Assoc. vs. International League "Little" World Series :rolleyes:

Detroit 42 degrees 20 minutes
Toronto 43 degrees 42 minutes

Nope

We're still waiting on the verdict re the Bloomington Twinkies

I'm sticking with Minneapolis and Toronto.

I agree and say Bloomington, MN.

the twins played at metropolitan stadium and they played in the 1965 WS against the dodgers. they moved to the metrodome in minneapolis in the early 80's. the former metropolitan stadium site is now the site of the Mall of America, the largest mall in the U.S. There is a home plate marker in the mall still as well as a marker where Killebrew's longest home run there landed. so they played WS in bloomington and minneapolis.

Well it is a tricky question. FWIW, I had Breakfast today in Minneapolis and lunch in Bloomington.

Peter_Spaeth 05-11-2012 07:48 PM

The answer is Minneapolis and Bloomington, but it should be Minneapolis and Toronto.

You're right Frank. I remembered the trivia question, What is the first country you reach when you travel south from Detroit, and the answer is Canada. But not Toronto.:(
