i agree with your son because los angeles is in california and that is by the pacific ocean
He's right about the Dodgers. One other city is also on an ocean. Check this map.

To determine if your son's answer that only the Los Angeles Dodgers play home games in a city located on an ocean is correct, we can examine the cities where each team is based.
First, let's look at the New York Yankees. The Yankees play their home games at Yankee Stadium, which is located in The Bronx, New York. The Bronx is not directly on an ocean but is situated near the East River, which eventually flows into the Atlantic Ocean. However, since The Bronx itself is not on an ocean, we can eliminate the New York Yankees as a team that plays home games in a city located on an ocean.
Next, we have the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox play their home games at Guaranteed Rate Field, which is located in the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. Chicago is situated near Lake Michigan, which is one of the Great Lakes. Although Lake Michigan is a large body of water, it is not considered an ocean. Therefore, we can exclude the Chicago White Sox from the list of teams playing home games in a city located on an ocean.
Now, let's consider the Cleveland Indians. The Indians play their home games at Progressive Field, located in Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland is situated near Lake Erie, another one of the Great Lakes. Similar to Lake Michigan, Lake Erie is not an ocean. Therefore, we can also eliminate the Cleveland Indians as a team playing home games in a city located on an ocean.
Finally, we have the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers play their home games at Dodger Stadium, located in Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles is positioned alongside the Pacific Ocean, making it the only team among the options you provided that plays home games in a city located on an ocean.
Based on this information, your son is correct. Only the Los Angeles Dodgers play home games in a city located on an ocean.
