Much the same way that the Tennesee Titans still hold the rights of the Houston Oilers and records for the Titans carry over from the Oiler years.

Not all teams retain such rights, even though its their history. When the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore, they intentionally let the name remain for a future Cleveland Browns football team. This was a classy move by the Ravens. Lets see if the Texas Rangers organization care about the greater good of baseball, and the baseball heritage of Washington D.C. Especially when they weren't the Washington Senators for that long.
