To determine where the commas should be placed in this sentence, we need to identify the elements that require separation. In this case, we have a list of places: "Red Hill, Pennsylvania" and "Popular Point, Manitoba, Canada."
The general rule for using commas in a list is to separate items with commas and use a conjunction (such as "and" or "or") before the last item. In this example, we need to place the commas after "Pennsylvania" and "Manitoba."
Correctly punctuated, the sentence should be:
Players came from places such as Red Hill, Pennsylvania, and Popular Point, Manitoba, Canada.
