I decided to add the Expos, plus I split the Brewers, and Astros. While the Expos are no longer they were around for a long time. The Brewers and Astros are split between the National League and American League versions of each team. Feel like the vibe of those two franchises changed when they switched leagues.
The players are shown off in baseball card form in the uniform of the associated team.

This was a fun activity and post to make. I might have to try this again with Minor League teams, though I am not sure I have cards of the players with the teams. Maybe next week.

Jeromy Burnitz sure was an interesting choice, was there any particular reason for his selection?
ReplyDeleteIt's just who I thought of when I got to the Brewers. If I made a list of Brewers players I liked since they moved to the NL, Burnitz would be on that list. It would be a short list though.
DeleteLove how you split the Astros and Brewers. Wish I would have thought of that.
ReplyDeleteJust a different feel for each of those teams when they switched leagues. I had honestly thought about doing a few defunct, or relocated teams. St. Louis Browns, Milwaukee Braves, Kansas City A's, etc. I only went with the Expos since they were the only team in that group from my lifetime.
