Baseball In Washington, D.c. Images Of America

Baseball has been enjoyed in our nation¹s capital for a century and a half. Just 13 years after baseball¹s rules were codified, the Washington National Baseball Club formed and in 1867 toured the country. By 1901 the team became one of the first 8 major league teams in the newly formed American league. In 1924 the Senators took part in what many consider to be the most exciting World Series in baseball history. Later, the Homestead Grays played at Griffith Stadium. The Grays, during a 10-year span, won 9 Negro League World Championships. When the Grays disbanded, the original Senators left for Minnesota in 1960, and the expansion Senators of the 1960s relocated, the city was left without a professional baseball team. 100+ historic photos.Ceresi, Frank is the author of 'Baseball In Washington, D.c.
