The original Washington Senators were owned by the Griffith family and 
adopted son Calvin moved the team to Minnesota in the late 50's or
early 60's.  The team was replaced with an expansion team called, oddly
enough, the Washington Senators.  This team moved to Texas, in the early
70's, I believe.  So, the trivial pursuit answer was correct.

There was a query on the net recently on the least talked about teams.  
My nominee was the Twins, until this notice, which also disqualifies the
Rangers.

Finally, are there any "true" Twins fans out there.  As opposed to the 
fans that will jump on the bandwagon once the Twins start running away 
with the AL East.  Out here in Washington, we don't hear much about the 
smaller market teams.
