Austin has a Rick Bayless taco shop, that makes it worth a visit.

  • The Sweetest Right Handed Swing in 1950s Baseball
Reading a play-by-play from a New Senators' win is more exciting than an off-day, and more pleasurable than most 2022 New Nationals' games. Here is one, thanks to Jim Casey, who runs a Facebook site on the Expansion Senators. He looks for a win on each day. Here is April 25, 1969, a day when Frank Howard went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI's. Jim Hannan started, but was pulled in the 5th, replaced by Dick Bosman.

I had not seen that until now.  I honestly can't say I remember a play that bad.  The thing that put it over the top is Soto flopping on the ground after he's out, blocking Bell from sliding into 3rd.

Hank Allen batting cleanup? Very unusual.

I can't find my earlier post, where I referred to 'cheesecake eating...' - it was in response to a 'Nationals News' story that the Nats players had held a cheesecake eating competition, in the Clubhouse, during games...Anyone else remember the story?... ;)

Thanks, PWC - but that wasn't the one I meant. The story I'm thinking of was last season (at least - maybe '20).

Found it!  7th August, last year - referenced by the MASN crew.
