...actually that happened Wednesday with the loss to St Louis (they won at LA yesterday).But 1992, their last winning year...how long ago was that?- Rod Langway was still at the Capitals (beginning his final season)- Caps and Bullets still had five years to go at CapCentre before moving to the Phone Booth, and Redskins (still pre-Snyder) were still at RFK- That was the calendar year in which the Redskins won their last Super Bowl- AM-980 was still WWRC (did not switch to sports radio format till the following year)- Blue Jays over Braves in World Series (first of two titles, the second featuring Joe Carter applying the coup de grace to the Phillies)- Curse of the Bambino still had 12 years left- Nolan Ryan in next-to-last season of his career- MJ-led Bulls won only the second of their six titles that year- Penguins win second of Lemieux-led Stanley Cups (and Jagr's last Cup Final trip)- NFL still in LA, original Browns still in Cleveland, Oilers still in Houston- Nordiques still in Quebec City, original Jets still in Winnipeg, Whalers still in Hartford- MLS and WNBA still four and five years away respectively- George Bush Sr's final full year in office- First full calendar year since Soviet Union de jure went out of business- Woodward & Lothrop was still open- Czechoslovakia's final year as a single country (split up New Year's 1993)- Debut season of Preparation H Park at Camden Yards- Still 13 years to go before baseball would return to DC- Of the players the Nationals took in this year's draft, five were born that year and five others weren't even born (none higher than 15th round in either case)
