They also are doing a celebration weekend with pennants and other giveaways
The 1924 team has nothing to do with Minneapolis, which was then and still is a minor league town. Incidentally, MLB declared that the Expansion Senators continued the records of the Clark Griffith Senators, as a fiction that was supposed to make Washington fans accept the new team. If anything, the Texas Rangers should be giving away Walter Johnson jerseys. Except that Nats Park has that statue of The Big Train at the main entrance, and for good reason.
Washington should fly the pennant flags from 1924, 1925, and 1933, plus the WS flag from 1924.
Nationals Park has a ring of honor that recognizes some of the stars of that team, such as Walter Johnson, Goose Goslin, and Sam Rice. It needs to include Joe Judge, and this current Nats team needs a 1B like Judge -- a quick and slick fielder with a lifetime 47.9 WAR, .298 average, and .798 OPS, a 114 OPS+. That was across 18 years with Washington and a couple part-time years with Boston and Brooklyn. If he had played the modern 162 game seasons, he'd have averaged 38 doubles and 12 triples a year. (The more I write about the 1924 season, the more impressed I am with Joseph Ignatius Judge's hitting).
Give aways to fans in Minneapolis?? There are plenty of Washingtonians whose grand-parents or great-grand-parents went to Senators' games in 1924 and on to 1960, when Calvin Griffith stole away to Minneapolis. And we cheered for the Expansion Senators through losing season after losing season.
