when the game at RFK will be .

Tim, I think that would be a great idea and, of course, my vote would go for Mickey Vernon to do the honors. He was a 4 decade player and played with the...

If I'm not mistaken, with the passing of Jim Lemon last year, Mickey Vernon is the lone surviving former Nats manager (I or II). It would be wonderful to honor...
