    Baseball Trivia

    While at the mall today, I saw some pretty uncommon hats, and I thought they might make for a good trivia series. Here they are: (sorry about the size)







    Correctly guessed by westofyou- Portland Beavers





    If you want to make a guess, please describe the hat and guess the team. Only one guess per hat/team per person, please!

    I will reveal the teams as they are correctly guessed.

    Have fun! I hope this is as much of a challenge for you all as it was for me...

    Re: Baseball Trivia

    Is the B inside the diamond the Boston Braves?
    Green hat Philadelphia Athletics?
    (Referring to Jack Hannahan signing with a Korean team)
    Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

    Re: Baseball Trivia

    I'm something of an old-timey baseball hat enthusiast (I own STL Browns and Philadelphia A's caps), but even I'm struggling to identify 'em. Here are my guesses though:

    1. navy blue - Philadelphia Athletics
    2. blue - New York Giants
    3. green - Pittsburgh Pirates
    4. red - Boston Braves
    5. blue - Boston Red Sox

    Re: Baseball Trivia

    Still none right so far...

    Glad to see this wasn't only a challenge for me!

    Hint: These are/were all professional baseball teams, but may not all be current/former MLB teams.

    Re: Baseball Trivia

    I'm guessing w/ 42 out in the theaters and knowing the costs associated w/ getting an official MLB liscense that these are primarily (perhaps even exclusively) negro league teams?

    I'll guess
    1) Atlanta Black Crackers
    2) NY Black Yankees
    3)?????
    4)???? I know Boston Braves is out since it was mentioned above.
    5) Boston Braves

    Re: Baseball Trivia

    well an internet search turned up the answer for 3 of them, none of which included the Portland Beavers, but I'll w/hold that info for people who actually know the answer or wants to guess.

    oh, and none of my guesses above were correct.
