Think you know Cleveland? With just a few weeks left in the baseball season, we’re winding up with a question that goes back to the city’s roots on the diamond: What was the first professional baseball team in Cleveland called?
But being a Clevelander is about more than sports trivia — it’s about knowing what’s happening in our community. From decisions that affect local colleges to big events that bring the city together and even the races shaping who represents us at City Hall, this week’s quiz will test how well you’ve been keeping up.
Before we get started, let’s give a shout out to quiz takers Karen K., Jennifer R., Mike C., Michelle F., Nena R., John S., SheilaMarie T. and Tracy J. for scoring 100% on last week’s quiz. Well done!
Ready. Set. Quiz.
