	Washington Senators - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This franchise is sometimes referred to as "the first Washington Senators." Space-saving newspaper writers continued to refer to the Senators/Twins as the "Nats" until they left for Minnesota at the end of the 1960 season.
		Note: Because the original Senators' relocation to Minnesota and the expansion Senators' arrival occurred in the same year (1961), and both had the same name, it is a very common mistake to confuse or combine the two baseball franchises.
		Varying shades of the Senators' red, white and blue colors are still used by their successor teams (Minnesota and Texas), and the Washington Nationals adopted these colors with gold accents upon their 2005 move from Montreal.

		The long-time home of the first Washington Nationals -- and yes, the AL franchise was, officially at least, the “Nationals’’ until 1956 -- was the most difficult park in Major Leagues to hit a home run.
		Only in 1918 (when Washington hit just 2 homers at home), 1921 and 1927 did Griffith Stadium not lead the league in either fewest home runs by the home team or fewest by the visiting team.
		Clark Griffith, late in his long run as Washington owner, was quoted as having said; “The fans seem to enjoy home runs, so we’ve assembled a pitching staff to give them what they want.’’ In fact, however, that never happened in his lifetime.
