Didn't Seattle do something similar with the Sonics name and history? I can't imagine Texas putting up much of a fight over Johnson, Goslin, Rice and other Senators being part of there teams history. Back to the retired numbers. Torii Hunter really shouldn't even be in the conversation. He played had at bats in 11 years with Minnesota, but two of those a combined seven games total. He only reached 550 plate appearance or more six times. His overall numbers aren't great and one or two years shouldn't do much to change that.
