So little time these days to blog, but thought I’d highlight a website that someone made a comment about.
The site rememberthegrays.org seeks to move a team to DC and rename them after Washington’s erstwhile Negro League team the Grays. It’s not totally a bad idea. I mean, just think of all the other likely names if DC gets a team.

Both the Senators and Nationals would be fitting, given the area’s baseball history, but the former name is already taken (by Ottawa’s hockey team…different sport, sure, but not totally original anymore) and the latter name is too reminiscent of the local airport. (I’m sure after some time some Congressmen would vie to change the name to the Washington Reagans…)
