As the Texas Rangers, 39 years later, they get to the World Series. 
The Washington Senators who carpetbagged out of town to the Twin Cities in 1960 won the World Series in 1987.
Meanwhile the citizens of Washington D.C still haven't seen a series since 1933.
Haven't won one since 1924 when maybe the greatest pitcher of all-time Walter Johnson was hanging on at the end of his storied career. Johnson had lost both of his starts against the New York Giants in that series but came on in relief to nail down game 7. Old-time observers of the game say that was one of the greatest Series' games ever.
