     The Buffalo Braves moved to San Diego and became the Clippers.  Later,
they moved to Los Angeles.  The Syracuse Nationals became the Philadelphia
76'ers.

     R U sure about this?  I think the original Brewers and Orioles were
International League teams, farm clubs for the Chicago White Sox and the
Boston Red Sox, respectively.  In fact, before joining the Red Sox in 1915,
Babe Ruth played for his hometown Baltimore Orioles.

     I think the new homes were Denver and Washington, D.C., respectively.

     The Yankees were known as the New York Highlanders and played in
Highlander Park in either Harlem or Washington Heights from 1903 through
1918 (my dates may be off).  Then, they became the Yankees and moved to
the Polo Grounds, sharing those facilities with the New York Giants, while
they awaited completion of Yankee Stadium, across the Harlem River in the
Bronx.  They started playing in Yankee Stadium in 1923.

     As for the Boston Braves, yo no se.

>enough for now.

     Thanks, Rich, I gotta get back to work!   :-)   :-)   :-)
