  • Athletic Obscura- 001- Baltimore the Transient

    In this episode we talk about the transient nature of sports starting with the Oakland Athletics potential relocation. We also take a deep dive in the sports team history of the city of Baltimore who has seen more teams come and go than any other city. 

    Yes, Rich got the year wrong of the St. Louis Browns move to Baltimore to become the Orioles but he rectified it before the end and Seth keeps calling Memorial Stadium in Baltimore Memorial Colosseum (Guess it's his West Coast Bias).
