One of the very few times he rooted for the opponent. Isn't there a thought that the Yankees pitcher (Fritz Peterson?) grooved one for Hondo, and Hondo thanked...
I think that's true ... but wasn't it Mike Kekich who gave Hondo a room-service fastball?? Story goes that Hondo thanked Munson, and Munson told him, "You...
Hello all, and welcome to 2008. An acquaintence of mine down in St. Mary's County recently won a photograph of a Senators player on eBay. The photo was...

Hi Art, That's Greg Goosen,formerly of the Mets and the great Seattle pilots. He hit .305 with 10 homers with the Pilots in about 150 at bats. When the Nats...
Thanks for the inside scoop Art. That sounds like a book that I would be interested in purchasing. Like you, I remember the expansion Senators. Most of the...
I just finished reading a book about Curt Flood, "A Well Paid Slave" by Brad Snyder. This book came out in 2007. The book is mainly about his reasons to sue...
Casey Stengel once remarked, in his wonderful Stengelese, about the amazin' players he had with the fledgling (and amazin') NY Mets. "Got a nice young fella...

I noticed that one of the three numbers not assigned in spring training was 33 (Hondo's number.) I have heard that they plan to retire it. I wrote to Stan...
Retring Howard's 33 would be a nice gesture, although I wouldn't advocate involving the Rangers. He no longer holds that franchise's single-season or career HR...
If the Nats do plan to retire Hondo's number and set a date, I'd appreciate someone posting it on here in case I miss it. That's something I'd really like to...
