356.0. "Baseball ?" by TADSKI::STOCKDALE () Fri Sep 14 1990 11:02

    My son asked me why is the Chicago Cubs fron the National league
    in the Eastern Division and the Chicago White Sox from the American
    League in the Western Division? I didn't really have a good answer.
    Does anyone know why this is the case, other than balancing the
    divisions.
    
    Thanks,

    After you figure that one out, tell me why the Atlanta Braves are in
    the NL West and the Atlanta Falcons are the in the NFC West.
    
    And then we'll know why the Phoenix Cardinals are in the NFC East.

    How come the White Sox wear black sox? (O.K. so they wear white sox
    underneath)

    For the same reason the Browns wear orange.
