You got it. Poor Miami has never had one. San Diego had Kemp do it last year as their only one. Mets have quite a few.

St Louis Browns is the easy one... I know both, but let's see if anyone else can grab the other.

I know one was the St. Louis Browns. Franchise moved to Baltimore from StL in the early 1950s. Don't know the other name though.

Yeah, not too many people know this one...I've done a lot of reading on the deadball era and picked this up.

(Hint: it is another City not yet named, i.e., it is not a different name in St.L or BAL)

I'll guess the Cleveland Spiders, although I'm about 60% certain they were an NL team and just folded instead of relocated.

I am not good at pre-1901, but I think you may be right. The NL went from 12 to 8 at some point and I know one of the teams was Louisville.

In any case, it's not the Spiders that moved to St. L to become the Browns

Sounds Ruthian...but that just seems too obvious.
