This being opening day, I am going to indulge myself and ask a *difficult* baseball question.
Of the following teams, which was the only franchise which came into existence after 1895?
Atlanta Braves
San Francisco Giants
Los Angeles Dodgers
New York Yankees
The New York Yankees. The American League came into existence in 1901, comprised of the Yankees (then in Baltimore), the Orioles (then in Milwaukee), the Boston Red Sox, the Chicago White Sox, The franchise that would become the Twins but which was the Washington Senators, the Detroit Tigers, the Cleveland Indians, and the Athletics (then in Philadelphia).
All the other teams, National League teams, predated 1900, although not in their present locations: the Braves were in Boston (1876), the Giants in New York (1876), the Dodgers in Brooklyn (1890).
Information Please Almanac.
