I just finished reading the book by Mark Judge and, while I enjoyed it
-- I devour anything about Washington baseball -- I was disturbed by
the number of factual errors on things that could easily have been
checked out. I'm sure Thomas Deveaux, author of the newest histry of
the franchise, "The Washington Senators,'' is appalled that his name
is repeated misspelled. The same goes for Bob Addie, a Washington
legend, who becomes "Adie'' in the Judge book. He also has the
expansion team's finishes all wrong. I'm sure I'm not the first reader
to note this, but
the errors make you wonder how accurate the rest of the book is.

Another problem is the scant credit given to the sources used. A
portion of Lawrence Ritter's interview with Goose Goslin, for the
famopus ""The Glory of Their Times'' is reprinted with no credit. Come
on! Let's hope any subsequent printing corrects these errors, so they
don't detract from the bulk of the book, which is enjoyable reading.

Th story about Judge Landis offering to call game 7 of the '25 series
with Washington ahead was new to me, and obviously fascinating.
