Help out with a sports trivia / bar question...
We used to have this down pat and won many a beverage in the day. Unfortunately, teams have relocated and renamed. So here's the deal:

Name MLB / NFL / NBA / NHL teams that share the same franchise name:

i.e. St. Louis Cardinals (MLB) / Arizona Cardinals (NFL)

I know a few more, but want some help here.
One we lost was Edmonton/Houston, maybe others.

So, whatcha got?
Cheers sports fans.

5. some good ones to impress your friends
Esoteric answer

Liverpool Reds (English Premier League Futbol) and CIncinnati Reds (MLB)

of course, mentioning a soccer team in the U.S. is liable to be met with blank expressions, but futbol is the greatest sport on earth.

Also lost were the Winnipeg Jets.

You leave out CFL, which includes the British Columbia Lions

22. Thanks newyawker!
I wasn't expecting anything until the big 1-0-0-0.

Hey, I made it out of the "club" fairly unscathed. Might even have cured a toothache.

16. Ok I know it doesn't count
But New York Mets (MLB)/ Seattle Mets (NHL)

The Seattle Mets (actually both teams are the Metropolitans but I thought I'd just spell it wrong in a parenthetical aside) were the first US team to win the Stanley cup, but have been defunct since the 1920s.

19. To make it a fair bet you have to use current teams.
You have to be able to say:

"There are # pairs of teams currently in the NFL / MLB / NHL / NBA that share a team name... I'll bet you a drink you can't name them all. And I'll give you the first one...."
The Cardinals combo is the obvious one.

I recall there were seven or eight when I used to whip this one out. Somebody always bit. From experience, the odds are in your favor.

I think we're missing one...
