    <<Where the heck where the Conquistodors from?>>

    ABA franchise from San Diego (1972 - 1975).


    <<Is this the longest team name of any sports franchise??>>

    As far as I can tell. The Timberwolves (12) are a letter short followed by a few with 11 in baseball (Highlanders and Bridegrooms to name a couple). image

    The expos full name is expositions and the astros is astrnomicals.

    Kinda like Knicks is short for knickerbockers........

    But neither one is longer than the name on the wilt card anyway.

    New York Metropolitans 1883-1887. Heck even the modern day Mets are referred to this name often.
