| Which Of The Following Mlb Teams Does Not Play In California |
The Golden State Lineup: A California Dream Team (...Kinda)
- The Los Angeles Dodgers: These guys practically invented California cool (well, maybe after Hollywood). Always a threat, their trophy case is overflowing with enough World Series rings to make a blinged-out octopus jealous.
- The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (who are also kind of in Los Angeles): Not to be confused with their crosstown rivals (seriously, geography is hard!), the Angels bring their own brand of SoCal magic. Plus, who wouldn't want to see Mike Trout play (assuming he's healthy, and hasn't been abducted by aliens)?
- The Oakland Athletics: Representing the Bay Area, the A's are all about that "Moneyball" magic. They might not have the biggest budget, but they know how to play ball on a shoestring (and with a whole lotta heart).
- The San Diego Padres: America's Finest City boasts a team that's heating up faster than a beach bonfire. With young stars and a passionate fanbase, the Padres are one to watch, especially if you enjoy a good rally!
- The San Francisco Giants: These guys are the OG California baseball team. With a rich history and a rabid fanbase, Oracle Park can get louder than a seagull convention when the Giants are on fire.
But wait! There's one team on this list that doesn't belong. Can you spot the imposter? Take your best guess, because...
The Imposter is Among Us! (But Seriously, Who Is It?)
Here's a hint: they don't have eternal sunshine (or palm trees). Think outside the California bubble, my friend!
The answer is... (drumroll please!) The Seattle Mariners! Despite their impressive seafood-themed name, the Mariners reside in the great state of Washington, where the rain loves to play ball just as much as the players do.
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
