This week I examine the city of Washington D.C., and it's connection with the national pastime. A connection with the game, that goes back to the first game in the District's recorded history of July 2, 1860. It was the shared home of one of the most legendary Negro National League teams, as well as owning a complicated history with Major League Baseball, that features three different franchises and five stadiums, in their over 100 year relationship with one another. Also I will profile four of the stadiums that have dominated the baseball landscape in the city; Swampoodle Grounds, American League Park, RFK Stadium and their current home Nationals Park #WashingtonNationals #WashingtonSenators #SwampoodleGrounds #GriffithStadium #AmericanLeaguePark #RFKStadium #NationalsPark #WashingtonDC #ArtGorman #ColonelJones #WilliamHowardTaft #JohnKennedy #WashingtonPotomacs #WalterJohnson #BaltimorePastimes ##TheGreatWesternTour
