Washington Time Warp

Washington Nationals mistake the club house for the shower, and
douse what they think is water on their clothes in celebration
of their city's first post-season berth since 1933.

The 2012 MLB Postseason is upon us, and what better way to return to a formal writing schedule than by writing about this year's surprising Fall Classic? ^_^

Look for loads of new content and insight as I follow the baseball playoffs leading up to the World Series ^_^ I'm excited! The Washington Nationals are quite a story; this is the first time a major league ball club out of Washington will play a postseason game since 1933, when manager Joe Cronin's Senators (AL) lost to John McGraw's New York Giants (NL) in the World Series. According to Wikipedia, lots happened in 1933, including...

• Prohibition ends.
• Amidst the Great Depression, Franklin Delanor Roosevelt's "New Deal" legislation kicks in.
• The first major league "All-Star Game" takes place at Chicago's Comiskey Park.
• Wiley Post becomes the first man to fly solo around the world; aww :(
• The first "Krispy Kreme" doughnut shop opens in Nashville, Tennessee.
• James Brown and Yoko Ono are born.
• RKO releases some gorilla monster movie called King Kong. I heard it was alright.
• In only her third picture, a young actress named Katharine Hepburn wins the Academy Award for Best Actress playing the role of Eva Lovelace in Morning Glory (RKO).
