Professional sports teams come and professional sports teams go.
The history of professional sports in the United States wouldn’t be complete without a look at some of the franchises that relocated or folded as their leagues tried to get traction throughout the country.
Though this is far from a complete list, here’s a look at 41 teams you can no longer under the “active” tab.
Boston/Milwaukee Braves
The Atlanta Braves are the oldest continuous professional baseball franchise. First started in Boston in 1871, they played in the city until 1952 when they moved west to Milwaukee because of declining attendance. The team played in Wisconsin until 1966, playing host to Henry Aaron’s first years in Major League Baseball and winning the 1957 World Series over the Yankees.
