In all seriousness, if they put a stadium in Anacostia, it'll get the ball rolling on decisive change in Southeast. It would be nice to have something there in that part of town besides the Naval Yard and some bombed out buildings. Another ten or fifteen years and southeast will be safe for Yuppies

I read somewhere that the Texas Rangers actually retain the legal right to the name "Washington Senators," so I suspect some serious money will have to change hands to get the name back.
But I like the Washington Pork. Their mascot could be a huge pig in a top hat and tails, straight out of a Thomas nast cartoon."I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George CarlinComment

Oh, and the ORIGINAL name of the Washington team (and the name it had for most of its history - 1901-1956) was the Washington Nationals. Why not go back to that?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

i thought my reference to Bush was pretty clever... he's from texas, he used to own the rangers... he's now president in DC... so he could use his connections to let Washington have the name... i dont know... i thought it was clever...

In that spirit, I say, the Minnesota Twins, who were on Selig's shutdown list and who just happen to be the original Washington Senators.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

Didn't know that.Oh, and the ORIGINAL name of the Washington team (and the name it had for most of its history - 1901-1956) was the Washington Nationals. Why not go back to that?
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

I think the names were used intermittedly. Sports reporters would call them both. Like the Dodgers in the 20's were called the Robins, but really they were dem bums.
Edit: Did a little digging and they were officially known as the Nationals. Senators where a nickname as was Griffman and Nats. Amazing that for some reason everyone calls them the senators, now. I always though they had abandoned the the National name earlier. Thanks Imran.Last edited by Moral Hazard; September 30, 2004, 10:40.Accidently left my signature in this post.Comment
