(Orange County may be physically close to LA county, but culturally, they're worlds apart) I got an awful lot of answers of other teams that have moved once, or twice, and/or changed their names. I will try to summarize below (By the way, I am just reporting these. Don't blame me if they are wrong) : Football: Chicago -> St. Louis Cardinals Dallas Texans -> Denver Broncos Baseball: Boston -> Milwaukee -> Atlanta Braves Philadelphia -> Kansas City -> Oakland Athletics/A's Seattle Pilots -> Milwaukee Brewers St. Louis Browns -> Baltimore Orioles Washington Senators (I) -> Minnesota Twins Washington Senators (II) -> Texas Rangers Basketball: Rochester -> Cincinatti Royals -> Kansas City Kings New York -> New Jersey Nets Philadelphia -> Golden State (Ca.) Warriors Hockey:Kansas City Scouts -> Colorado Rockies -> New Jersey Devils Kansas City Scouts -> Atlanta -> Calgary Flames California Seals -> Cleveland Barons -> Minnesota Northstars And it was also mentioned by some people that, like the Rams, the NY Giants also don't play in their home city. As a matter of fact, not even in their home state. They play in New Jersey. -Glenn
