 * ALT1: ... that the Toronto Blue Jays baseball club was enfranchised in the 1977 Major League Baseball expansion after a failed attempt to move the San Francisco Giants to Toronto?
 * ALT2: ... that the Seattle Mariners baseball club was enfranchised in the 1977 Major League Baseball expansion to terminate a lawsuit by the city of Seattle against the American League?


 * Hooks: All three look good (short enough, cited, and interesting). I do prefer the first one, but any of the three are excellent.


 * Article: Long enough, new enough and is well referenced.
