This( Yester)Day In Washington Baseball History... The Continuing Attempt To Educate A Montreal Fan About DC Baseball History... (ed. note - "This one comes, once again, courtesy of the Sunday Newark Star-Ledger Sports section feature, "This date in History", which notes that on September, 7th...") : "1908 - Walter Johnson pitched his third consecutive shutout in four days with a 4-0, two-hit victory over the New York Highlanders." One hundred years ago this season, Walter "Big Train" Johnson, who had signed with the Washington Senators as a 19-year old free agent a year earlier, was (14-14) as a 20-year-old with a 1.65 ERA in 30 starts and 6 relief appearance, with (including the three consecutive shutouts, the last of which is commemorated today) 6 shutouts and 23 complete games on the season. After defeating the New York Highlanders 3-0 on September 4, 1908, Big Train and the Sens beat the Highlanders 6-0 on September 5, and the third consecutive scoreless start for Johnson was the first game of a double-header, with Washington taking the second game of the night too for four straight against New York, though "Big Train" Johnson was actually allowed to skip the second start that day. The Senators finished the 1908 season 67-85, in 7th Place in the American League. As of September 8, 2008, the Washington Nationals are, 56-88, 5th in the NL East. The winningest pitcher on the '08 Senators was 29-year old Tom Hughes, (18-15, 2.2 ... Source: www.boxxet.com --- 39 days ago

(The Continuing Attempt To Educate A Montreal Fan About DC Baseball History...) For all the problems the city of Montreal had with the Expos and their owners, it never came to this...

The deal had been approved ten days earlier at a meeting of America League owners on September 20, 1971, but apparently the news only trickled down to the team and its fans in the days leading up to the final game. Washington Senators' great Frank Howard is quoted in an article by New York Times' writer Richard Sandomir entitled, "Yankees Last Trip To R.F.K Ended In Fan Rampage", which recounts the events of the evening at RFK and quotes Mr. Howard explaining: "' I didn't find out we were leaving until two nights before that game,' said Frank Howard, the 6-foot-7 slugger, who had his best years in Washington. Several younger players told him, "Frank, we're leaving t ...
