I know that in 1958 the NY papers covered the Dodgers and Giants in spring training. A radio station carried re-creations of Giants games during the season ans a tv station did a few Dodger games. Did anything similar happen either time in D.C. -- To reply via e-mail please delete 1 c from paccbell >> Stay informed about: Question for those who were around for both Senators teams

Sorry, I meant to post this in the DC group.
What I wanted to know here is what, if any, coverage the Montreal
media is giving to the team.

Hey, keep this post in the archives for when Washington loses its 3rd MLB team in about 20 years....

Don't count on it. With 17,000 season tickets sold it is highly unlikely. Demographics are much different with population explosions in Montgomery County, MD and Fairfax County, VA....this team is going to go nowhere unless the league pulls an "NHL" and then all of MLB will come crashing down. ref "Exiled" <riley3XxX.TakeThisOut@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:nGcTd.100359$qB6.84681@tornado.tampabay.rr.com... > Hey, keep this post in the archives for when Washington loses its 3rd MLB > team in about 20 years.... > > > "George Grapman" <sfgeorge.TakeThisOut@paccbell.net> wrote in message > news:7VbTd.6677$OU1.2135@newssvr21.news.prodigy.com... >> Sorry, I meant to post this in the DC group. >> What I wanted to know here is what, if any, coverage the Montreal >> media is giving to the team. >> >> -- >> To reply via e-mail please delete 1 c from paccbell > > >> Stay informed about: Question for those who were around for both Senators teams

Facts are curious things.... in 1994 when the strike/lockout occurred, Montreal was averaging 24,543 a night - which was 11th out of 14 NL Teams. Was that 35K on opening night? Care to run through retrosheet.org to find that 35K Wednesday night? >> Stay informed about: Question for those who were around for both Senators teams

There are legions of baseball fanatics that move here and are frustrated because of no baseball. I live in NoVa and am glad the Loudon county thing died. It would have been easier for me but not for a lot of others in the area. Even though I don't like going into DC, for baseball, you betcha!!!

I commuted from Woodbridge to Sterling, with one of my routes being to travel up the Route 28 corridor.

I wish the plan had put it right across 95 from Pentagon. There was a big piece of commercial property and well within several metro stops. It was a great location and would have been much better then going into rough area of DC. But, I do love baseball and to DC I will go.

Sorry - I know it's late, but I was slightly off. Attendance had been steadily rising at Stade Olympique all year. The average numbers are significantly below what the Expos were drawing towards the end. Mon, 8/1/94 vs Cardinals - 30,359 Tue, 8/2/94 vs Cardinals - 37,553 Wed, 8/3/94 vs Cardinals - 30,541 Thu, 8/4/94 vs Cardinals - 39,044 Ok, so technically, my 35K on a Wednesday wan't right. It was 37K on a Tuesday or 39K on a Thursday. >> Stay informed about: Question for those who were around for both Senators teams
