Moscow has a rich tradition of Bloodbath, dating back to frequent appearances of the pre-MLB Mongol Horde. In 1547, Ivan the Terrible used his wealth to found an major-league franchise, the Moscow All-Tsars, which played in the Old-World League’s Eastern Division. As part of a MLB realignment in 1703, Peter the Great moved the club to St. Petersburg to compete in the league's then-Western Division.
