I was at both of those games. what a treat, not going to school and eating briggs hot dogs and watching my beloved washington senators and my idol, jose valdivielso. kent feddeman
For all those who didn't know Both Harmon Killebrew and Jim Kaat also were Players on the Senators whom went with them to Minneosta when the original Senators became the twins.
I remember seeing Harmon Killebrew on TV when the original Senators were still here. I was a big fan of Washington Senators II. And now we have the Nationals, whom I root for, but - -OY!!!
Looks like you beat me on this one. All I have is a pennant my dad bought me (and my 2 older brothers) with the "64 Senators...and yes, Don Zimmer is in it. AS A PLAYER!!!
And like you, I ain't selling MY piece of history...
I got to see the "expansion" Senators once (or maybe twice) before they left. So I never really saw the "original" Senators play--they left for Minnesota when I was 2--and they tore down Griffith Stadium when I was 4.
This was good to watch. The film quality leaves something to be desired, but...it's nice to see what Griffith Stadium looked like.

D.C's loss was Minnesota's gain.

I worded it incorrectly.
What I meant is, the national past time should be in the nationals capital.

Don't ever compare the Senators of old with the Canadiens and the Cowboys.
Baseball is America's past time, not DC specifically.

This is great stuff.
But how is it that baseball is our past time and they not only moved a team out of the nations capital, but waited decades to bring one back?
That is like taking the Montreal Canadiens out of hockey or the Dallas Cowboys out of Football.
