    About this ebook

    Washington Senators All-time Greats is one of the first books covering the first 101-year history of the Senators/Nationals before they were reborn with the transfer of the Montreal Expos to Washington in 2005. Hundreds of players appeared in Washington uniforms over the years and from these Mr. Willis selected an all-time team. In addition, all-star teams from five eras were chosen. Career highlights and statistics are included in each of the sixty-seven mini-biographies; photographs and anecdotes bring the players to life. The author also presents team records and summaries for each year and era, and for the entire 101-history covered. The last chapter of the book honors the best of Senators managers and owners, and the best Washington play-by-play announcer and sportswriter. Readers are invited to compare their selections with the authors. The book contains a foreword by Senators great, Frank Howard and is recommended by former Washington stars and managers, Mickey Vernon and Jim Lemon.
