The rich history of
The Carmine Hose is well known by all of us in
The Nation. Entering its 116th season, Boston's American League franchise also occupies the oldest ballpark in the game (built in 1912). But it is
also interesting to reflect on
another piece of lesser-known MLB history that almost seems impossible to be true. Only four current American League franchises operate in the
same city they started in: the Red Sox, White Sox, Indians and Tigers. What about
The Evil Ones, you are perhaps thinking?
Wrong, Bronx Breath! The Pinstriped Posers originated in
The Charm City—as the
first iteration of the Baltimore Orioles.
