It certainly did:I do think you would have had a massive ripple effect. The (original) Senators were originally the team that was looking to move because the Griffiths wanted out of Washington. Part of the deal that allowed the Senators to move to the Twin Cities was a new Senators team had to be in Washington (the team we now know as the Texas Rangers) and to do that, an additional team had to be brought in (which was the Los Angeles Angels/California/Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, who essentially were promoted from the Pacific Coast League). A similar deal likely would have been needed to bring the Senators to LA (with that team likely taking the Angels name) and if so, you likely would have seen the Seals essentially promoted from the PCL with the new Senators, likely resulting in the three-way swap of owners I described (also possibly with the team moving to Minneapolis becoming the Twins as the original Senators did and a new AL team in San Francisco taking the Giants name). The National League would not have stood pat and probably expanded with their own LA team plus the Colt .45s/Astros. Football would also have had ripple effects from this as I noted. And yes, things would have been radically different in my view. |
