Lots of interesting teams and characters around in the game then. I would not mind watching a Washington Senators game from about that time (again probably being silly, but still I would be curious).

All I can remember of those Senators teams is Frank Howard.

Believe Ted Williams managed that team for a number of it’s years there.

What a set of guns, and he didn't mind showing the off. Also Harmon Killebrew.

I fondly remember the Washington Senators, with Ted Williams as manager.

I grew up in that area, and went to many games at RFK stadium.

The atmosphere at the ballpark is so different now. Among my memories are of talking baseball with fellow fans. So many fans today are taking selfies and playing with a cellular phone.

It was nice to talk baseball with knowledgeable fans back then. I remember a couple of older black men who frequently were there, and I would go sit with them in general admission seats. I learned a lot about the old Negro leagues from them.
