Right now we are in the heart of Baseball season, America's favorite pastime, and we have until September 30th to enjoy it! It is no wonder we love this game as much as we do, we don't know any other way of life. The MLB is the longest running professional sports league in history. We have been rooting for our favorite teams for almost 115 years now, isn't that crazy!?
While the sport may be America's favorite, it is an activity that is enjoyed around the world. Canada, which hosts the Toronto Blue Jays, will never stop rooting for their one little team to win against America's 29 teams. Let's be honest even people who do not necessarily enjoy the sport itself can't deny how fun it is to attend a game, and eat all of the delicious snacks that are served during them. No way would cracker jacks ever have been as popular as they were without this sport. So really it does not matter where someone may be from, which team they are rooting for, or if they only happen to be in it for the food, because at the end of the day all any of us want to do is yell "Play ball!".

They were the winners of the 2002 World Series, and that has been their only ever win. What is the name of this fickle team?

This teams fans are maybe a bit lazy, they seem to have only chosen one nickname for their team, which is "The M's".

Name the team
This poor team has been moved around, and altered a lot since first being created all the way back in 1969. Sadly even though they played for 2 different countries in their time, they never manged to make it to even 1 World series championship, they are one of only two teams to never play in one. While the team played for a Canadian city they had retired 4 numbers, but since playing for the United States they have not retired any.
Name the team
This one should be easy enough for even the smallest Baseball fans. This team is responsible for some of the most historic baseball events in history. This is also the team that suffered from what fans called "the curse of the Bambino", after the team sold the famous player Babe Ruth in 1920 to their bitter rivals. It wasn't everyone who believed in the curse, but an 86 year gap between World Series wins has to be chalked up to something!
