I think of it less like "historical credit" than a discussion about relative lineages, i.e., how far back can you trace the existence of a particular franchise. Are you basing it on ownership? Players? City? Team name? League? Etc. I think you could trace lineage using any or all of these criteria, as long as you specify how or why you are relying on a certain criteria to link the Minnesota Twins of the 1960s to the Kansas City Blues of the late 1800s.
