I'm a National's Fan
I've been a National's fan since they announced they would start playing in DC. I've been a Washington baseball fan since the summer of 67 when I learned the difference between an Oriole and a Senator. Believe me that's hard to do when the Orioles were contenders every year and the Birds swept the Dodgers in 4 in the 66 series. If you were a Senators fan, you went to see big Frank hit a homerun or Eddie Brinkman cover the infield. Bosman and Knowles could throw some pretty good pitches too. I am glad we have a National league team this time because my replacement team for the Senators after they moved to Texas was the Red Sox. That has finally paid off. I guess the big dream now would be to see Nationals play the Red Sox in the World Series. The topper would be to see Jimmy Piersall the famous outfielder who played for Washington and Boston throw out the first ball. Jimmy played for the Senators when RFK opened as DC stadium. He also ran around the bases backwards when he hit his 100th homerun.
