Found another one... Cleveland to Minneapolis-St Paul, Houston, and other cities, in the late-50's...
From The Cleveland Indians Encyclopedia:
"Another factor in the (Oct. '57) firing of (GM Hank) Greenberg was that he and several unnamed stockholders had begun a behind-the-scenes campaign to relocate the franchise to Minneapolis-St. Paul."
"Despite the departure of Greenberg and the arrival of (Frank) Lane, other cities continued to bid for the Indians, including Houston, which in 1958 attempted to buy the team for six million dollars and move it to that city."
