#OTD April 14, 1910: President Taft throws out the 1st pitch at the #WashingtonSenators home opener at National Park (the eventual site of #GriffithStadium),thus beginning the tradition of the "Presidential 1st Pitch" that continued until the Senators left for Texas in 1971.
I like the backs of ‘56 #Topps team cards just as much as the front. Love seeing the odd dimensions of the old ballparks. Here’s #GriffithStadium in DC - 421’ to dead center, 457’ to right center, shrinks to 328’ at RF line but a crazy 405’ down LF line! #GreenCathedrals
@MLBONFOX So do you consider the 565 foot blast #MickeyMantle hit into the oak tree at #GriffithStadium in #WashingtonDC in 1956 to be the longest dinger of all-time?

Today’s #Senators shout-out: #GriffithStadium was 350’ down LF line - BRUTAL for RH hitters! But in ‘55 this 5x All⭐️ set club’s season mark for HRs w/ 25. Broke it w/ 29 in ‘56 then SHATTERED it w/ AL best 42 in ‘57! Added 39 more in ‘58. Washington avg’d 57 W’s those 4 yrs.😖
