I might not have all the facts completely straight, but from what I understand, the Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins the first time, but the Twins didn't keep the rights to the name. Then, when DC got a team the second time, they were again called the Senators... but then became the Texas Rangers, and the Rangers did retain the rights to the name. Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I got this info from Mr. SSS and he said he wasn't completely sure about what happened with the Twins.
