Does that include something like San Francisco, which is a City and a County simultaneously?
No. In these cases there is absolutely no county involved, even nominal.
So, not Jacksonville/Duval, or Miami/Dade.

One is Carson City, NV. No idea on the others.
Carson City is correct. Expected it to be the hardest, but also suspected you might know.
Other two are "big" cities in the major-league sense.

I guessed that too, but apparently it's a city-parish, like San Francisco and other city-counties.

On the easy side but funny anyway - what two pairs of countries border Russia and start with the same letter?

I had to look it up because I didn't realize Russia shared a border with Norway, so I learned something new today.

Just giving this one away because who would ever guess it, but Vicente Padilla got a win against all 30 MLB franchises while only winning 108 total games.

This is somewhat hard so I’ll give the decades for each:
20s, 30s, 40s, 90s
30s, 40s, 60s, 80s

A roughly educated guess will be the Tigers since I know they won in the 80s and not since.

That’s one of the two. Sabo was off on both guesses.
