Hello, Nats Fans,

I'm just reading my back emails, so someone might already have mentioned that
Sherry Robertson was related to Clark Griffith (nephew?) and became an executive
with the club. The Old Senators were a family business to the extreme.

Although I assume that many people on this list already know all about the
Robertsons. So this is "just in case".

Regards,

John Welch

I just came upon this writeup at another baseball website discussing "Ballpark
Disasters".Washington, September 29, 1943 A wild throw into the stands killed a
spectator at the Washington - Cleveland game in Griffith Stadium last night. The
victim, Clarence Stagemyer 32, Alexandria, VA, died of head injuries, hospital
attendants said. Stagemyer was sitting behind first base when he was hit by the
wild throw, indended for the Senators first baseman. He died shortly after
removal to the hospital. Thrown by Sherry Robertson.Art AudleyLa Plata, MD
