  1. There were several Brooklyn Dodgers born in Brooklyn. Will they get a separate post? Or turn up in the NL East?

    1. They get ignored. Because the Brooklyn Dodgers don't exist anymore.

  3. Would have thought there were more Giants born in San Francisco. Sadly I can't think of any to help.

    1. It's smaller than cities like NYC, LA, Chicago, and Philly.
      There's a large GBT population.
      A lot of SF residents are transplants.

      Though I did expect to find somebody other than McGee.
