For random reasons having more to do with Carolina League history than the Nationals yesterday evening, I was reading the Wikipedia page for the Potomac Nationals. And in so reading I saw this rather remarkable sentence: “Upon completion of the new stadium in the Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center, the Potomac Nationals will be upgradedContinue reading “A Swap in Washington’s Minor League Teams”

Pink Night at Metro Bank Park
Last night I was in Harrisburg for my sixth Senators game of the year. In the spring I bought a six-ticket mini-plan, and a ticket from April, when my Beetle was in the shop with a blown transmission, was swapped out for a ticket in August. Last night, to be exact. The Senators were playingContinue reading “Pink Night at Metro Bank Park”
Back In Harrisburg
Yesterday I made up to Harrisburg for my first two Senators games of the year; they were playing a double-header against the New Britain Rock Cats (AA affiliate of the Twins). I had not intended to get to mid-May without attending a baseball game; indeed I had bought a Senators ticket plan with an earlyContinue reading “Back In Harrisburg”
Thunder Strikes in Harrisburg, and a Season Comes to a Close
Tonight was the third game of the Eastern League Championship Series. The Trenton Thunder, the AA affiliate of the New York Yankees, took a 2-0 lead over the Harrisburg Senators, the AA affiliate of the Nationals, in the best of five series in the two games in Trenton, and tonight’s game in Harrisburg would beContinue reading “Thunder Strikes in Harrisburg, and a Season Comes to a Close”
Playoff Baseball in Harrisburg

Yesterday afternoon I drove up to Harrisburg for game four of the Eastern League Western Division semi-finals between the Senators and the Erie SeaWolves, with Harrisburg holding a 2-1 lead in the best of five series. Three weeks ago, I said I’d gone to my last Senators game thisContinue reading “Playoff Baseball in Harrisburg”
On Not Being a Nationals Blogger
On Twitter two days ago, I was called “a Nationals blogger.” By Nationals, meaning the Washington Nationals, of course. I am not a Nationals blogger. Don’t think of myself that way at all. But I was also thrilled that someone else would think of me in that way. Nationals blogger. I have, however, made someContinue reading “On Not Being a Nationals Blogger”
Hey Senators!
Monday was Stephen Strasburg Bobblehead Night at Metro Bank Park in Harrisburg. I had pencilled this game on my schedule long ago, after my second trip to see the Senators play on Bryce Harper Bobblehead Night. Then, before I could buy tickets to the game (as I was hoping to get some friends in theContinue reading “Hey Senators!”
An Oasis of Natitude Along the Banks of the Susquehanna
On Tuesday I attended my second Harrisburg Senators game. I was taking a vacation day at the office to attend to some personal matters and get in a day of downtime between my publication cycles at work. Over the weekend I decided that since the Senators were at home I could attend the game asContinue reading “An Oasis of Natitude Along the Banks of the Susquehanna”
My First Harrisburg Senators Game
Last night I attended my first Harrisburg Senators game. I moved to the York area a few months ago; I needed a new place to live, housing in Baltimore (where I still work, as a copywriter) is stupidly expensive, and southern Pennsylvania had the advantages of being inexpensive and commutable. In the last month-plus, I’veContinue reading “My First Harrisburg Senators Game”
