Baseball is Back in DC!!!

Strike up the band! Pop the corks! Unfreeze Ted Williams! Baseball is back in DC!

I have always been a reluctant believer that we'd see baseball in the Nation's Capital during my lifetime, but I am happy to be proven wrong! No need to pad Peter Angelos' greedy pockets anymore (he extorted Major League Baseball into doing that for him). I am now a full-fledged fan of the Washington (whatevers). There's no turning back.

Full analysis can be found in the Washington Post, including columns by each of its prominent sports writers (minus Tony K....perhaps he is working on a new Bandwagon):

Thomas Boswell. Happy as a clam, no longer has to write his Opening Day article bashing Peter Angelos. But he's welcome to continue.

Michael Wilbon. A sober analysis of potential team names. I am still in favor of my suggested name for the now Washington "Wizards": the Federals. Hopefully the new ownership will be as reasonable as Wilbon.

Mike Wise. Talks to the Old-timers. Fair and balanced.

George Solomon. Revives the ghost of Shirley Povich.

Sally Jenkins. Party pooper extraordinaire. Probable Yankees fan.
