Lose One, Win One

September 30th, 2004 · No Comments

For the first time in my relatively short baseball fandom, there will be a new team, or at least a team in a new location, next year. While I’m not too concerned with visiting RFK Stadium in the next two seasons, I’ll be interested to visit the new park in DC in 2007. Michael Wilbon has a good column in the Post about the potential names for the team (thanks, Twism and Coz, for making sure I can hear it read in his voice after watching him and Kornheiser go at it every night). I like his logic, and share his aversion to the spate of stupid names that have recently plagued pro sports. Senators is a perfectly fine choice, and Grays might be better, though it does have that retro-trendiness to it. Whatever they choose, it can’t be worse than the Wizards, I guess.
