Is There Any Significant Reason Why The Only Two Baseball Teams Represented On Disneyland Trading

Are japanese people liberal in sexual topics or prudish?

that's like asking what religion Americans are some are still very shy while others aren't

Why does Los Angeles have two baseball teams? Angels and Dodgers?

The Dodgers moved to California from Brooklyn, and the Angels technically are based in Anaheim. It's a large enough population to support both teams even though they're relatively close together.

What would the Texas Rangers have to give the Los Angeles Dodgers for Clayton Kershaw?

Texas Roster/Contract Status:http://www.baseball-reference.co...Dodgers Roster/Contract Status: http://www.baseball-reference.co...Kershaw is 23.  He won't see free agency until 2015; the Dodgers have him/control him for the next three years in arbitration.  There is no way the Dodgers wheel him for anything but a ton of young, impact players.Keep in mind: the Dodgers top four starters were Kershaw (23), Billingsley (26), Lilly (35) and Kuroda (36).  They already need more young starters -- so it seems crazy they would deal a pitching Triple Crown Winner, age 23, that they control through 2015!  Kershaw might be Sandy Koufax 1962 here, about to go on a five year rampage through the NL.Yes, the Dodgers need offense; yes, Texas needs a #1 starter (especially if C.J. Wilson leaves, after Cliff Lee bolted last season).Texas scored 855 runs this season, and surrendered 677.  In theory, that's a surplus of offense from which to deal.Here's the problem: the big guys on the Texas offense aren't young (other than Michael "Young" -- who isn't young in age, he's 34).At the end of the World Series, here are the ages of the big bats in TX:Michael Young, 34Adrian Beltre, 32Josh Hamilton, 30Nelson Cruz, 30Ian Kinsler, 29Mike Napoli, 29David Murphy, 29.So.. none of these guys are young players at all; in fact, all of them are past their age-27 season, and so can be expected to begin a decline on the second half of their careers.Texas has young studs -- especially pitchers.The best young offensive prospect on the team is Elvis Andrus, age 22, who is arbitration controllable until 2015 (thus, inexpensive).  The best young pitching prospects for Texas are Neftali Perez, 23; Derek Holland, 24 (both controllable via arbitration until 2016); Matt Harrison, 25 (controllable through 2015); and Alexi Ogando (controllable through 2017).The problem is.. why would the Dodgers trade Kershaw for young pitching and a young star shortstop, when they already have a young pitcher (Kershaw, 23) and young impact shortstop (Dee Gordon - 23: http://www.baseball-reference.co...).I can't speak eloquently to either system's minor league stars -- other Quorans will know.  There are better seamheads on Quora -- sent this to a few all-stars, including Steve Oh, Joel Lewenstein and Nicholas Saint ... Semil Shah and Benjamin Donabedian, Jonathan Brill, etc. these guys are the middle of the Quora MLB lineup.  I'm a bench player. But I swung anyway here, for fun.

Whats the longest route for route 66?

Route 66 originally went from Illinois to California. Although the route has been replaced by our Interstate highway system, much of the original route is still used today. Virtually all of the original route is accessible, with a few exceptions in the west, where interstate 40 cut off access and the original roadbed has deteriorated form disuse and lack of maintenence.
