The whole "franchise" thing has just got to go. The history stays with the city. When a team starts in a new location, it starts fresh. When a team starts in a location that has a MLB history, that's its history. As far as I know, Walter Johnson was never in Minnesota--so I'm sure he'd be quite surprised that they claim him. Washington MLB history started in 1886, stopped in 1889, started in 1891, stopped in 1899, started in 1901, stopped in 1971, started in 2005...you get the idea. I don't care where these teams came from, and I don't care where they went. When they were here, they were our team, that's all. Simple as that.
