| | ESPN.com - Page2 - A Last Great Season: The Senators in 1945 |
 | | Prologue: In the spring of 1945, with the United States of America still fighting a global war in the South Pacific, China, Italy, Germany, and points in between, professional baseball was about to begin its fourth wartime season. |
 | | Epilogue: Boosted by their second-place finish in 1945 and relative world peace, in 1946 the Senators drew more than a million paying customers for the first (and as it would turn out, only) time in franchise history. |
 | | 1945 wasn't perfect, but it was exciting, and over a span of nearly four decades, it was as good as Washington baseball got. |
