MLB.jpgEach of this week’s Brain Games will involve the sport of Major League Baseball. We’ll do our best to keep it on the “casual fan” level so that most of you can participate; good luck!

The following aren’t Hawaiian words. Rather, they’re the full names of five Major League Baseball franchises (location + team) with all the consonants removed. Can you identify all five?

1. EA AE
2. OO E O
3. EEA IIA
4. AIO AIOA
5. IU IAE

Here are the ANSWERS.

  3. Thanks for your input, Yani. Much appreciated. We do themes of varying descriptions every once in a while; none last longer than a week.

  7. Thanks as always for the quizzes. I certainly hope that when the season for a real sport (like football) hits, it gets the same loving treatment.
