Is there any team in baseball which is derived from a long standing previous team (Seattle Pilots do not count) which does not acknowledge the records and achievements of its former team? The LA Dodgers and SF Giants, for example, celebrate the Brooklyn and New York counterparts. The Baltimore Orioles at least acknowledge the St. Louis Browns' achievements (what little there were), ditto the Altanta Braves and the Boston and Milwaukee Braves.
The Minnesota Twins absolutely do not acknowledge in any way, shape or form nor honor their former team the Washington Senators despite their long history. The Twins moved to Minneapolis-St. paul in 1961 and even from the start (I was there) never mentioned the team who moved there. Really sad when you think of Walter Johnson, Cyde Milan, Goose Goslin, Bucky Harris and all the other stars...
