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...
Folks, I don't know how many of you are familiar with Arcadia Publishing. They put out books of local or regional interest which usually consist of old post...
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 remember seeing Curt Flood in the line up on opening day 1971. The Senators beat Vida Blue and the Oakland A's 8-0..... ... From: MICHAEL MARMER LINDA MARMER...
Dear jkrpn@... Thanks for the mini book review! Speaking of books, is the David Gough book on the last original Washington Senators good? It is only...
I believe David still lives in Alexandria, but could be wrong. Try the phone book. I am sure you could buy it directly from him as I did with his auto.but...
curt flood was a piece of crap who cared only about himself and is one of the reasons baseball is so screwed up today. and oh yea....he was the goat of the...
I tried to get opening day tickets for the Nationals yesterday, as I did get through on the computer. I made the mistake of hitting best available as they...
Welcome springtime and another baseball season !! Winter is depressing isn't it ? - February is the worst month of the year - it's the shortest, but seems like...
Great article in this month's Washingtonian. Make no mistake about it. If you dont have a parking pass, you must take the metro or park at RFK. There is no...

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...
Ok everyone, put your thinking caps on. What SS, known for his wild arm, overthrew 1B in pre-game warmups and killed a fan? I am guessing this is pre-1900 but...
Who remembers Dick Such, a pitcher who spent a little over 3 months with the 1970 Senators? In his only season, he went 1-5 with an ERA of 7.56. I recall that...
In the event anyone is interested, I attended a game between the Camden (NJ) Riversharks and the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs on Sunday, May 18th. (Camden won,...
I m in the process of going through 10 boxes of BB newspaper/magzine/scorecard clippings/pictures. I've come across hundreds, in all shapes and sizes, of the...
I just realized that the Twins won the AL pennant in 1965 in only their 5th year in Minnesota. After a franchise dry spell going back to 1933. I also notice...
Today (August 8th, 2008) is Frank Howard's 72nd birthday. (How old does that make the rest of us?) As one of the very few bright spots in the expansion...

I was happy for Killebrew, Allison and Pascual but rooted against them due to Calvin Griffith. It was a real slap in the face at the time. My dad was...
