Imagine the Tigers moved to Kansas City and took all the Tigers' records, etc. with them .. and changed the name of the team. Another franchise came to Detroit and left 10 years later. And then over the next 33 years, in one form or another, the Indians kept a new team out of Detroit claiming that Detroit wasn't a baseball town and Detroit was part of the Inidans territory anyway. Any misery in Baltimore is a cause for celebration in DC. 
...and most of the Tigers' crucial TV revenue is taken away and given to the Indians. Good explanation. I guess you have to be here to fully understand the situation between the two franchises.
