I did notice that the last syllable of all the teams was composed of four letters, but thought of at least two teams (Gi-ANTS and Pa-DRES) that fit, so I knew that wasn't it. Plus, that would be a horribly ridiculous reason to root for a team. GO BRAVES!!!! I definitely never would have gotten this without the list of all the teams and info.

I love Camden Yards though. It's so pretty. And we get the Crab Shuffle and the condiment race, two of the best games in MLB. My dad has a Memorial Stadium brick, Steven.

Back in 1991 and before, Baltimore wouldn't have been on that list. it was in '92 when they moved into Oriole Park in Camden Yards. Before then, they played in Memorial Stadium. i’m noticing quite a few Orioles fans here lol.
