Where Major League Baseball Teams Taken From Their Original Cities Will Play For The Final Series (Or Close To It) If I Were Scheduler

(I edited this around 1 a.m. October 1 because I had to re-do the schedule for The Baltimore Orioles because the previous schedule didn't work.)

So I have this ... uh, OCD thing where I want to see teams, regardless of sport, end their regular seasons in the cities where they're originally born.  I'm a Pisces and this idea is a full circle kind of thing.

Between 1981 and 2004, Major League Baseball's regular season was set up by, get this, a married couple, Henry and Holly Stephenson.  Ever since, it looks as though MLB hired a company called The Sports Scheduling Group that, I guess, makes money by generating schedules on computer.  But to think that just two people was able to determine the schedule for all the teams in America's Favorite Pastime.  It can't have become more complex since 2005, right?  Sure, there are more teams, but there is still 162 Games.  If a married couple can sit down and figure out a schedule of 2,430 Games over the course of six Months without screwing up, I can indulge in my relocation-hating fantasy of mapping out which teams play where for the final three-to-six Games of a fictional regular season.

So, with that in mind, if I had my way, a regular season would end with these particular series:

• Atlanta Braves at Milwaukee Brewers
• Atlanta Braves at Boston Red Sox (so this is a franchise that has been stolen away twice; the Braves originated in Boston, so Atlanta finishes its regular season playing in Milwaukee and then playing in Boston -- oh, and there is a huge to-do regarding the Milwaukee Brewers; see below)
• New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles
• Baltimore Orioles at St. Louis Cardinals
• Baltimore Orioles at Milwaukee Brewers
• Milwaukee Brewers at Seattle Mariners (now this is getting really complicated; there is a team that has been stolen away twice, and the city the Baltimore Orioles were born in has both had a second team stolen from them and itself stolen a team.  What to do?  Christ almighty, I think I've got it; Baltimore plays in Milwaukee the third-to-last series of the regular season; plays in St. Louis in the second-to-last series of the regular season; and in the last series of the regular season, Baltimore hosts the Yankees.  Meanwhile, the final three series of the regular season for the Milwaukee Brewers will be home to Baltimore, home to Atlanta, then at Seattle.  Done!)
• Minnesota Twins at Washington Nationals
• Texas Rangers at Washington Nationals (this time Washington, D. C. would be hosting two teams that were stolen from the Federal District; since the original franchise became The Minnesota Twins, the Nationals host the Rangers in the next-to-last series and host the Twins in the last)
• Oakland Athletics at Kansas City Royals
• Oakland Athletics at Philadelphia Phillies (another two-time city-jumper in Oakland [who will soon be Las Vegas].  Because the Athletics originated in Philadelphia, Oakland will play in Kansas City before finishing up in Philadelphia)

Big caveats: I don't know what to do with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants.  They were both stolen from the good people of New York City.  But Major League Baseball is beautifully distinct because it's not really the city that the historic New York-based teams hails from but the borough.  The Dodgers, for example, were born The Brooklyn Dodgers.  The San Francisco Giants were taken from Manhattan.  Meanwhile, the Yankees play in The Bronx while the Mets play in Queens.  Yeah, you can take the Dodgers and Giants back to New York.  But there is no deciding factor as to which California baseball team should play which New York City baseball team (whether it be the Yankees or the Mets) and when.  So, I've decided that they don't "come home to where they were born" because, to be technical, there is no current MLB ballclub in the borough they were taken away from.

Baseball is such an old sport that I thought there would be a hell of a lot more relocations than the ones I listed above.  But I guess that's it.
