The Brooklyn Dodgers though are not defunct, they just moved to LA.

for the purpose of talking about the franchise that was in the city and no longer is? sure. i would have happily made the title of this thread "any defunct or franchise that moved" but you cant really fit that in the title

But they are no longer the California Angfels so they must be defunct.

So I guess we just consider what you think defunct as defunct.

That's a weird situation because the city of Cleveland got to keep all the history and stats and everything. I think Seattle did the same thing regarding the Sonics.

It is the exact same thing,

They kept the name, records, and franchise, and the Angels have moved also.

They don't have a gold tab on their jerseys for the title the Sonics won in the 70s.

Flipped? No just showing you were you are wrong in the wording of the topic.

Your premise is right, I give you that, but wording is wrong. Why else would I not attack a HYC member?
