Hi All! When my family first moved here in 1970, the Senators were a baseball team that wasn't yet in Texas and had an idiot for an owner named Bob Short. My...
All my years as a Senators fan make me fear that the sudden and seemingly easy success of the Nationals might spoil the new fans, ala Milwaukee when the Braves...
Can anybody tell me ... how are the RFK dimensions now compared to 1970s when Hondo played there? Is it tougher to homer there now, about the same?? Art...
My understanding is that the fences are still the same at RFK. In its era, DC/RFK Stadium was in the middle of the pack in yielding HRs. Now, the majority of...
Hello, all, Andy's understanding is correct. The dimensions are the same now as 1968 and 1963; extremely hitter-friendly when you think of Griffith Stadium. ...
I don't if anybody will find this of interest but it's something I wrote for the fun of it, and it hasn't found an in-print home. It's about how Washington has...
greetings, going thru an old desk i bought i found two "official batting order" cards. One for Washington and one for Detroit. the Washington card is in pencil...
Hi everyone. When the new owners take over, I hope they do the things I have listed below. Hope you all agree. 1. Forget the history of the Expos, including...
Hello, Mike, It sounds like you have found a line up card from the Tigers manager, Jimmie Dykes (the name just came to me) from 1959. Note that Eddie Yost...
Silly article, as I thought this "W" was for Washington, as maybe George Washington, which happens to have a few towns named after him. Mike In D.C., 'W'...
Just a minor correction; Yale Lary, of course, was a HOF safety and punter for the Detroit Lions during the same time period that Frank Lary pitched for the...
As for your other item, I think it virtually has to be from 1960, the last year Casey Stengel managed the Yankees and Maris's first year in the Yankee ...
Comments by insertion. ... Hi everyone. When the new owners take over, I hope they do the things I have listed below. Hope you all agree. 1. Forget the history...
I have to agree with Tim on the retired numbers. We have no reason to dump on Montreal -- the few fans left there are going through what some of us endured...
Should we also honor the Grays by finding and retirign Josh Gibson's and Buck Leonard's numbers? I'd like to see a statue of Walter Johnson on one side of the...
Hello, Arch, Right you are. Some of my few remaining brain cells beeped a warning about "Yale" Lary the pitcher! Frank Lary was one of the Tigers' stalwarts,...
Hello, all, A red swirly 'W' for George W Bush? Some people are nuts. A blue hat means Democrat? More nut cases. Personally, I like the 1960 Senators hat:...
... Two other staring pitchers from the 1959 Detroit Tigers were Don Mossi and Paul Foytack. I remmeber Don Mossi, because I have his baseball cards and he had...
We're attending Nationals on a Sunday afternoon. We're staying on Embassy Row. I have a rent a car but is it easier to take public transportation to the game...
... By all means, take Metro if you are near a subway station or if you hotel has a shuttle. The Stadium stop is right at RFK. Parking is $10 and if you don't...
Yesterday, my wife, Linda and I attended our 3rd Nat's game, as we have 4 more games in the season to see at RFK. We normally attend Frederick Keys and...
Hi John. At my age brain lock has become my constant companion. Early in Lary's career. the Tigers had an aging Virgil Trucks, who had tremendous fastball...
I wish Joe Coleman had won the Cy Young in 1969 ... not sure who won the AL award that year, but I know it wasn't Coleman. Might have been Dave McNally of the...
Baseball Rose and Art, Thanks for the correction and sorry about the error. I thought he won it. Oh well. I know the team was only 10 games above 500 but for...
Hello, Arch, I might have been thinking about Virgil Trucks, or I might have confused the Tigers outfield trio with their pitchers. I remember they had Kaline,...
Wasn't Foytack a left-hander? And didn't Detroit have the worst-hitting pitcher in baseball? I think his name was Hank Aguirre, pronounced "Agarry", no matter...
Congratulations, Howard! I still haven't been able to get down from New York. Someone will have better information, but: (a) Back in the '60's, we always...
I would have picked Dick Bosman, myself. Was it McNally? Didn't he lead the league in wins? Not that I noticed, sinced the '69 Senators finished above .500....
