Washington Senators can refer to:

  • an American League baseball team based in Washington, D.C. from 1901 to 1960, mostly at Griffith Stadium, that moved to Minneapolis-St. Paul in 1961 and became the Minnesota Twins. The franchise was officially named the Washington Nationals from 1905 to 1956 (the team dropped the "Nationals" reference after 1956, mainly because an American League team so named would, and often did, cause great confusion), but was commonly referred to as the Senators or Sens for much of that time. This franchise is sometimes referred to as "the first Washington Senators." Space-saving newspaper writers continued to refer to the Senators/Twins as the "Nats" until they left for Minnesota at the end of the 1960 season.

  • another American League baseball team, this time officially named the Washington Senators, that played from 1961 to 1971. The expansion franchise was awarded immediately to the area upon the Twins' departure. The team played at Griffith Stadium for one season, then moved to the newly constructed D.C. Stadium, which later became RFK Stadium. The franchise moved to Dallas-Fort Worth for the 1972 season and became the Texas Rangers. Colloquial references to "the second Washington Senators" generally are intended to mean this team, not the little-known NFL club. Even though the second team was never officially called the Washington Nationals, the Senators/Rangers were also called the "Nats" as a short form in newspaper articles.

I am from Iowa, where Tom Harkin is one of my Senators. He is one of the most liberal senators in Washington and it is time for him to go.
