In response to FALCON29's post that "both statements are correct" regarding the Senators franchise, apparently I did not make it clear what I was referring to. Yes, Toine's initial statement was correct, but I believe he paired the teams incorrectly on the team list. Here's how Toine paired them:
Texas/Senators (1961 and before)
Twins/Senators (1962 and after)
Based on the history of the franchises as set forth in Wikipedia and BaseballReference.com, here's how they should be paired:
Texas (& Washington) Expansion (which includes Senators player cards 1967-1971, since there are no player cards for any Senators for 1961-1966);
Minnesota Expansion/Washington Post (which includes Senators player cards 1960 and earlier and Twins player cards, 1961-1966).
Or even simpler, based on the above and SOM's groupings:
Texas Expansion;
Washington Post/Minnesota Expansion.
I'm not trying to get into a long debate about this, just trying to clarify to avoid confusion and potential disagreements over player rights down the road.
