Fascinating Inside Look At The Last Years Of D.C. Baseball

If you enjoyed Mike Shropshire's "Seasons In Hell" then this book written a quarter century earlier will prove equally enjoyable if you can find a copy as it follows the story of the Washington Senators in their last years before their move to Texas, where they remained one of the worst teams in baseball. Whitfield was the voice of the Senators in their last years and his accounts of their destructive owner Robert Short will prove illuminating to those who think that meddling, incompetent owners only began with the likes of the 80s George Steinbrenner and Peter Angelos. A baseball classic that deserves to be back in print!
