Sportsball 5-8-17

#1 Post by elwoodblues » Sun May 07, 2017 8:06 pm

Welcome to the first-ever edition of the Bored game Sportsball. In today's game you will name the current MLB, NFL, NBA or NHL team that was formerly known by each of these names. For example if the clue were Brooklyn Dodgers the answer would be Los Angeles Dodgers. But for each of these both the location and the nickname will be different. One point for each.

1. Seattle Pilots

2. Dallas Texans

3. Minnesota North Stars

4. Baltimore Bullets

5. Washington Senators (original)

6. Washington Senators (1961 expansion team)

7. Montreal Expos

8. Seattle SuperSonics

9. Houston Oilers

10. Hartford Whalers

Got those without breaking a sweat. Surprised you didn't throw in the KC Scouts for yuks, since they had a stop in between.
