Synopsis
A celebration of the long and rich history of baseball in Washington, DC, this work chronicles how, in 1899, the Nationals became the Senators, and this book surveys the history of the team that boasted some of the greatest names in the game, including Connie Mack, Walter Johnson, and Harmon Killebrew. Despite this, for 70 years, Washington was, as the old saw had it, “first in war, first in peace, and last in the American League.” This book also examines the unique relationship between presidents and baseball, the long and intense rivalry of the congressional baseball game, and minor league baseball in the area.
