They were originally from Vancouver BC, but still kept the name Grizzlies even though I can almost guarantee that no matter how much time you spend im Memphis, TN you won't find any grizzly bears.

Yep, good point. A lot of those names have lost relevance because the teams aren't where they used to be anymore. But the older teams that have stuck around are still where they are.
