Funny that the two northern most cities, Seattle and Montreal, are only two where a world series was never played !!!

Going to guess, Minneapolis and Boston

Nope

We're still waiting on the verdict re the Bloomington Twinkies

I'm sticking with Minneapolis and Toronto.

I agree and say Bloomington, MN.

the twins played at metropolitan stadium and they played in the 1965 WS against the dodgers. they moved to the metrodome in minneapolis in the early 80's. the former metropolitan stadium site is now the site of the Mall of America, the largest mall in the U.S. There is a home plate marker in the mall still as well as a marker where Killebrew's longest home run there landed. so they played WS in bloomington and minneapolis.

Well it is a tricky question. FWIW, I had Breakfast today in Minneapolis and lunch in Bloomington.

The answer is Minneapolis and Bloomington, but it should be Minneapolis and Toronto.

You're right Frank. I remembered the trivia question, What is the first country you reach when you travel south from Detroit, and the answer is Canada. But not Toronto.
