Just a stab, California, Arizona or Texas. It is California. We have 50 states, but four of them are legally called Commonwealths. Which four? Bonus Q. Which state only has one legislative chamber? i.e A unicameral legislature.

Nebraska has a unicameral legislature.

Milwaukee has had three MLB teams. One was in Ban Johnson's Western League that became the American League. Two modern MLB teams moved here. Can you tell me the names of these 3 teams when they arrived or left?

Well, going back is pretty easy. The Seattle Pilots moved to Milwaukee to become the present day Brewers. Prior to that the Boston Braves moved to Milwaukee, stayed about a decade and then vacated to their present home in Atlanta. That Western League one has me stumped though Dave. I know Bill Veeck owned a minor league team in Milwaukee during the WW2 era that were called the Milwaukee Brewers as well. I know Veeck's White Sox played a number of 'home games' in Milwaukee after the Braves left town. Western League...you got me there Dave. MM. Boy Howdy. You just named all three teams. Most people know about the Braves and the Pilots. Ban Johnson asked Charlie Cominskey to move his Brewers to Chicago to be the American (Western) League team there. They changed their name to the White Sox.

Two Brothers, still playing, both hit home runs on the same day. Setting a record. They have done this 4 times. They are the only brothers playing in MLB.

The Upton brothers. I don't follow them much, but the one brother bats about .210 and bats nearly last.

In a kind of Christmas surprise, The last large German Army attacked a backwater area known as Verdun. When they surrounded an American army and asked for them to surrender, what was their reply from the American General?

When Brig. Gen. Anthony McAuliffe, acting commander of the 101st, was told of the Nazi demand to surrender, in frustration he responded, "Nuts!" After turning to other pressing issues, his staff reminded him that they should reply to the German demand. One officer, Lt. Col. Harry Kinnard, noted that McAuliffe's initial reply would be "tough to beat." Thus McAuliffe wrote on the paper, which was typed up and delivered to the Germans, the line he made famous and a morale booster to his troops: "NUTS!"
