Can You Name All of These Major League Baseball Teams?

After losing in the 2019 World Series, the Houston Astros became the center of controversy for a cheating scandal that dates back to their World Series victory in 2017. According to the reports, the Astros read signs from opposing teams and found ways to communicate those signs to their batters.

The New York Yankees won a World Series in every decade except for the 1980s and 2010s. The team's last title was won in 2009, which is why it decided to part ways with manager Joe Girardi following the 2017 season.

Jackie Robinson, the first black player to compete in Major League Baseball, was a star for the Dodgers, who were located in Brooklyn at the time. Robinson was a six-time All-Star with the Dodgers and won the NL MVP in 1949.

After winning three World Series with the Boston Red Sox, Babe Ruth's contract was sold to the New York Yankees in 1919, beginning what became known as "The Curse of the Bambino." The Red Sox wouldn't break the curse until they finally won a championship in 2004.

Serving as general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, Branch Rickey helped establish the farm system in Major League Baseball during his time with the club. Rickey was tired of scouting talent who ended up going elsewhere, so he encouraged the Cardinals to start their own minor league teams to develop players.

The New York Mets suffered through some horrible seasons after the franchise was founded in 1962. However, they were able to put a championship roster together in 1969 that became known as the "Miracle Mets" because they surprised the entire baseball world.

The Chicago Cubs play home games in Wrigley Field, one of the most historic ballparks in baseball. The team first started playing home games there in 1916, even winning its inaugural game against the Cincinnati Reds.

After not qualifying for the playoffs for three straight seasons, the Toronto Blue Jays hired Cito Gaston as their manager in 1989. In his first season with the team, Gaston led the Blue Jays to the ALCS, and in 1992, he helped the team win the first championship in franchise history.

After playing in Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome from 1982 through 2009, the Minnesota Twins moved to Target Field for the 2010 season. They later hosted the 2014 All-Star Game in their new stadium.

The Washington Nationals were a Wild Card team coming into the 2019 MLB Playoffs, but that didn't stop them from taking out team after team, including the top-seeded Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS. The Nationals then defeated the Houston Astros in the World Series to take home the first title in franchise history.

After parting ways with longtime manager Mike Scioscia in 2018, the Los Angeles Angels decided to bring in Brad Ausmus, who only lasted one season with the team. As his replacement for 2020, the Angels hired veteran manager Joe Maddon to hopefully put them back in playoff contention.

From 1970 through 1976, the Cincinnati Reds went to four World Series, winning two back to back in 1975 and 1976. The team during this era was known as "The Big Red Machine" with players like Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan on the roster.

The Cleveland Indians moved to Progressive Field, their current ballpark, in 1994 after playing in Cleveland Park since the '30s. The next season, they were back in the World Series for the first time since 1954, though they couldn't capture a title during that 1995 playoff run.

After reaching the ALCS in 1972, the Detroit Tigers went into a period of decline for most of the rest of the decade. One bright spot for the team during this time was Mark Fidrych, who won over fans in 1976 as a rookie, winning the AL Rookie of the Year after posting a 19-9 record as a pitcher.

Before moving to Oakland, the Athletics were located in Philadelphia and Kansas City at different points. The team had tremendous success during its early years in Philadelphia, where it won five of its nine World Series titles.

The Tampa Bay Rays were established in 1998, and the team's first decade of play was marred by failure. Only once did they finish better than last place in their division, and the Rays never reached the playoffs until 2008 when they made a run at the World Series, ultimately losing to the Philadelphia Phillies in five games.

The San Diego Padres are trying to get to the playoffs for the first time since 2006. To accomplish this, the team brought in new manager Jayce Tingler, who is taking his first stab at being a manager.

Though the Seattle Mariners were established in 1977, the team never reached the playoffs until the '90s came around. Support for the team was in decline by then, but luckily, a victory in the 1995 ALDS once again inspired the city of Seattle to get behind their team.

The Baltimore Orioles last made the World Series in 1983. With future Hall of Famers like Jim Palmer and Cal Ripken Jr. playing, the Orioles defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in five games to take home the championship.

Before moving to Texas, the Rangers were located in Washington D.C., where they were known as the Senators. During their final game in Washington in 1971, fans stormed the field, taking away souvenirs including first base.

Aside from Jackie Robinson, whose number was retired league-wide, the Kansas City Royals have only retired three players' numbers. Those numbers include No. 5 for George Brett, No. 10 for Dick Howser and No. 20 for Frank White.

After playing their first season in 1993, the Colorado Rockies only made the playoffs once before their World Series run in 2007. The Rockies didn't come away victorious in the 2007 World Series, but it's the closest they've come to a championship.

Derek Jeter, the longtime great for the New York Yankees, became part owner of the Miami Marlins in 2017. He was immediately named the team's chief executive officer, and one of his first moves was trading the 2017 NL MVP, Giancarlo Stanton, to his former team.
