Yup. They were there. Cleveland, New York and Detroit were there too.
I can rememeber the Miami Flamingos, Houston Marshals, Atlanta Aviators, Kansas City Rustlers and my team, the Philadelphia Brawlers (will they come back?)

Philadelphia will be the first to come back for sure, but it might have to be through relocation at the moment.

The Bulldogs look really clean, love that shade of blue with white.

The last team I still gotta do is Rochester (NY), but I'm stumped on a name.

Re: The Story of Driveball
For Rochester why not Red Birds? Baseball has mostly been the Red Wings and Red Birds is not used by any other pro sports team as a full time name

Re: The Story of Driveball
Maybe the Millers or something related to flour with Rochester being called the flour city.
