And the Orioles opposed the Senators move to Texas back in 1971. Since this is a Redskins fan site, here's the interesting connection. In 1965, Bob Short sold his Los Angeles Lakers to a Canadian millionaire, clearing the way for Short to buy the Senators. A few years later that same Canuck, intent on owning a team in Washington DC, considerd buying the Senators and saving the city. Instead he decided to "settle" on buying the area football team.

Things turned out OK for Jack Kent Cooke and Redskins fans for the next 20+ years
