Boys of (next) summer

30 Sep 2004

So it’s official: baseball is coming back to Washington. I’m not really a baseball fan, but even I’m a little excited. (I’ve often thought of baseball as too slow for my attention span, at least on television, but being there live makes a difference.) The Montreal Expos will move in time for the 2005 season, making their first game as early as April. The team’s home turf will be RFK Stadium for three seasons while a new ballpark is constructed on the Anacostia waterfront.

Watch Congress will step in and name the new team the Ronald Reagan Washington National Expos. And while we’re at it, let’s change the name of yet another Metro station! (The latter is actually pretty likely, don’t you think?) Navy Yard-Baseball Center/Annex/Whatever?

We’re in punk rock country. It’s “Didi.”
