50 years ago today, the Washington Senators ...

My sister and her boyfriend attended this game. A few years ago, for Christmas, she gave me the ticket stubs along with a Ted Williams “My Turn At Bat” paperback book that they were handing out at the game. Along with other game stubs of games she had gone to. One of them was also the 69 All-Star game ticket stub.

She taped the tickets to the back page of the book. But I’m good with that!

Needless to say, I love my sister!

I even found a tape recording of the game years ago and bought it. Them moving, even as bad as they were, sucked big time to a 12 year old version of me at that time. To this day, Bob Short can rot in hell as far as I am concerned.

Such a shame they were pulled out of DC.

My friends and I went. It was ugly. Someone hung up a "F--- Short" banner and it went downhill from there.

Reminds me of the bicentennial Stones concert at RFK that had to be stopped because people were shooting off fire works in the crowd. Back then we were allowed to carry coolers full of beer into the stadium -- but we were so much older then, we are younger than that now.
