| I agree with jaysee/jametz - it makes it more difficult...i.e. better having to know the original names of teams. To remember that the Astros were originally the Colt .45s, for instance. What is fascinating is how many of the 60s expansion teams had to change names or even move.
1. The 61 Senators had to move to Texas
2. The Colt '45s changed their name to Astros
3. The Seattle Pilots lasted only one year, before moving to Milwaukee
4. The Padres came thisclose to moving to Washington
5. The Expos actually DID move to Washington eventually
And technically, the Angels moved of Los Angeles to Anaheim |
