Gotta be farther back. I think it's Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins.

The Pilots/ Brewers were the only answer I was coming up with from the hint. After I looked it up and saw the answer I understood his hint a little better.

If we are ignoring the OLD time team name changes (Orioles to Highlanders to Yankees; Bridegooms to Dodgers; Titans to Giants; Browns to Orioles; etc), there aren’t a lot of teams that have been renamed and relocated…

Expos/Nats
Pilots/Brewers
Senators/Twins
Senators/Rangers

Does his grandson have the same last name?

Yep. A book he wrote may have supplied inspiration for some of Blasey-Ford's testimony.

You know what's bugging me about the answer to this trivia question? This guy is diminutive, listed at 5'8 on baseball reference and when I google short first basemen, he isn't listed in this article. Short at First Base » Baseball-Reference Blog » Blog Archive

The answer to the question was Joe Judge, who played mostly for the Washington Nationals of the American League, who became the Senators and then the Twins.

The St. Louis Browns moving to Baltimore isn't that old. 1954, just 7 years before the Senators moved to Minnesota.

lol, yeah you're right. At 5'8 he definitely isn't related to AARON Judge. (actually Aaron Judge is adopted, but the point is 5'8 is short for a first baseman)

The last three are easy compared to that but I'll throw out the question anyway. Which players had the most Opening Day Starts at third base, Center Field and Catcher?

Interesting. I always associated that with the old timey times. I need to recalibrate my understanding of that one. Thanks.

the thing that was confusing was the Washington Senators were previously the Washington Nationals and now there is another team in the NL called the Washington Nationals. And if you're a baseball card collector you'll know that in 1974 DC tried to get the Padres and turn them into the Washington Nationals. WTF DC, come up with some original names.....

Still a huge pile of shit here to toss against the wall. I will hand the shovel off to the next guy for a few tosses, though.
