Both answers are correct.  The Senators team that moved to Texas in the 
early seventies was the second version of the Senators.  The original 
Senators did indeed move to Minneapolis in the early sixties and became
the Twins.  The second version of the Senators, I believe, were part of 
the American League expansion for the 1969 season, which also saw the birth
of the Kansas City Royals ( the A's moved to Oakland ) and the one year
version of the Seattle Pilots.
