Total blow out. Would help if I had read the damn Olympics question correctly, but was dead in any event as that was a lay-up one for my opponent - who wrote the question...

Man I did not understand that question then. I was going to say Indianapolis but the Clowns were a Nergo League team and the current team, the Indians, are directly affiliated with the Pirates and have had several other associations.

Oh well.

There was a Indianapolis Hoosiers in the NL from 1887-1889. (and a couple other teams too that fell even earlier than the given timeframe)

Totally misread that as well. Read it as name one of the countries that HAS hosted but is outside that top 30. I'm a stupid.

Yea.

Did anyone know that shit or were you guys just guessing mid-level midwest cities that don't have a pro affiliation?

Edit: Thanks for the explanation. Probably would have talked myself out of Indy anyway. Cool history though.

I knew Louisville. I could have guessed at some others, yeah.

Watched the fourth quarter of SB43 last week on NFL-N. Forgot how money Holmes was the last couple of drives, not just that ridiculous TD catch.

They had a team in the Federal League (the baseball USFL/WHA of the 19-teens.) One learns this if one takes Bengal's advice and watches Ken Burns's Baseball on the MLB channel.

I knew the Clowns were from the Negro league, but I thought what the hell. Worked out.

Did you ever make it to a game at the new stadium before they closed up shop? It was a nice night out, for a couple of seasons at least.

Yeah I was about to write that, then I wanted to find out what the deal was so I went to Wiki and they say Peppers and make no other reference. I want research by Monday.

Nah. Too close to the real shit to go there. Also maybe didn't live here when they closed?
