- If I'm being honest, I generally dislike sports-themed puzzles. But once I saw this, I couldn't unsee it, so...
Meta explanation
There are 30 Major League Baseball teams. Three of the teams are named after birds:- St. Louis Cardinals
- Baltimore Orioles
- Toronto Blue Jays
And three teams' names start with the letter "B":- Milwaukee Brewers
- Atlanta Braves
- Toronto Blue Jays (again)
3 Birds. 3 "Bees".- kurtalert 🤓3:38 · 2023-04-18T03:27:17.740ZLoved it!
