Are you sure about that? I was there and the Senators never seemed to wear blue.--GABaker

[edit] Why did they move

Given that Washington, D.C. is about to get a new baseball team (Expos), it would be useful to know why the original Senators team(s) left Washington.

[edit] Senators Farm Team

Was the Farm Team for the Senators located in Salem, VA? I seem to remember going there with my father, I think in the early 50's. Have a baseball signed that day by a pitcher by the name of Tommy Holmes.

Why wre there so many Washington Senators?? I have a baseball card of DickBillings of the Washington Senators, anyone know where I could find a good online priceguide? Jaberwocky6669 July 4, 2005 02:38 (UTC)

[edit] Nationals?

Does anyone really use the name "Washington Senators" as a nickname for the new Washington Nationals? I've never heard of it, and I live in the Washington area. Unless someone can provide some reference to support this, I intend to delete it from this page. --Russ Blau (talk) 14:23, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
