The Washington Senators
For those of you too young to remember:
When I was a kid, DC had a baseball team called The Washington
Senators. The owner, Bob Short, sold the team which became
The Texas Rangers. Needless to say, I was completely
tramatized by this event, and have ignored professional baseball
ever since. (I guess that taught them a lesson.) I was at the last Senators
game ever played in R.F.K. stadium, (they lost of course), and I will
always remember the banner hanging in left field:
(I'm not old enough to remember the first time Washington lost a baseball
team, which became The Minnesota Twins.)
