Yankee's - Red Sox

<font color="blue"> But if you are concerned with countries -- only cities in Canada and the USA have Major League teams. </font>

Yeah, and now Canada only has one team, now that the Montreal Expos are moving to Washington. I assume the team will be renamed as the Washington Senators? Ironically, the last major league baseball team to move to another city was the Washington Senators...

The first Washington Senators team moved to Minnesota in 1960 and renamed as the Twins. A year later, a new expansion team was created in Washington, and that team was also called the Senators. They moved to Texas in 1971, becoming the Texas Rangers.

I "heard" that the Rangers still own the rights to the name Senators. That info could be wrong though. Anybody Know?

I don't know. I assumed the team would be renamed the Washington Senators, but after a Google search, I came up empty-handed with information about a possible name change. It makes sense though, the last two MLB teams to move to new cities had their names changed to suit the cities where they moved to...

Washington Senators became the Texas Rangers
Seattle Pilots became the Milwaukee Brewers

NBA teams haven't faired so well...
Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles (Lakes in L.A.???)
New Orleans Jazz moved to Utah (Jazz in Utah???)

Re: Yankee\'s - Red Sox

Well, it's now 2-0 Red Sox heading to St. Louis for three in a row. That Cardinal lineup is incredible so I'm sure not claiming sweep or even victory yet. In the two games thus far I never felt any lead was 'safe' and see no reason it will change. I am, of course, still rooting for my beloved Red Sox. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Since the subject of team names and franchise moves has been broached, here's a question on that topic for you:

Where is the NBA franchise today that won eleven championships in thirteen seasons years ago? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Re: Yankee\'s - Red Sox

I'm not a particularly rabid baseball fan, but must admit there's been some fine playing lately. Not fine enough to keep me up late at night watching, but I can't say that about my co-workers. Some of them have become absolute zombies due to late night extracurricular activities! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
