I did see you post on the "most cherished" discussion, but it did not register to me that you were a newer member of the forum. So, welcome aboard, Ken!
I just learned an interesting tidbit the other night (I'm sure you know this already). The New York Yankees were originally established as the Baltimore Orioles (before becoming the Highlanders, then the Bronx Bombers we know today). Of course, there's no affiliation to the modern day Orioles. Your franchise were originally established as the Milwaukee Brewers, where they played from 1894-1901.
It's a small world, isn't it?
