Thanks for visiting my site. Here, you’ll find intelligent, insightful writing on sports, especially baseball in Washington, D.C. — both its history and its current incarnation. I hope you will enjoy what you read here, that you’ll offer a comment or two, and that you’ll visit often. Once I learn the in and outs of this site, I plan to post some pictures of the 1969 Senators and some sound bites from interviews I conducted with former players, coaches, broadcasters and fans from that amazing team that won 86 games and vaulted rookie skipper Ted Williams to the American League Manager of the Year.
