Thanks tomterp.

This franchise is due for a championship...

If I may, when the Senators left, did you still root for the team ?

I did not, but that was a different era.  No TV, no radio, no internet, no newspaper coverage, there was no practical way to follow a team that wasn't your home town team back in the 1970's.  Since I was fond of many of the players, I could not wish ill upon them, though I despised the corrupt owner who did the dastardly deed. 

I basically quit following any team for over a decade, before some friends got me into going up to Memorial Stadium in Baltimore to see the Orioles during their final glory days, 82-83.  But I never rooted for them like they were my own team, cause they weren't.
