Hello, all,

I remember, from my childhood in the '50's, that we called them the
Nationals, the Senators, and the Nats for short...all mixed up.

I do the same now.

By the way, the papers say that the last (only?) time the Nats broke 1
million fans was 1946.

Given the size of Griffith Stadium -- small -- that must have been
something. A lot of people in the bleachers...and a Griffith Stadium day
game showed why those seats were called "bleachers".

Regards,

John Welch
