You probably saw lots of replies.  
The Washington Senators (of Cal Griffith) went to Minnesota.
The Washington Senators (of Bob Short, coincidentally
of Minneapolis and truckin' fame) went to Texas, where this pundit
labeled them the Texas "Shorthorns", which they have been ever
since.

	Up to date?  By the way, the dates:

		Griffith Senators -- '61
		Shorthorns	  -- c. 70.

	Real trivia, name a manager of the 'New' Washington
Senators.
