When MLB chose the name "Nationals" for the Expos once they moved the team here, I was also amazed at how quickly the nickname "Nats" was so easily embraced, as if the team had never left.<BR/><BR/>Interestingly enough, the Ottawa Senators have the nickname "Sens" rather than "Nats"...Edward J.

I had a subscription to Sport from 1959 until it folded. And, he is so right that it had the right photos during the Mantle-Mays era, so-to-speak, the halcyon period for modern MLB.<BR/><BR/>Plus, and this is an embarassing admission coming from none other than SenatorNat, but I NEVER thought about Senators having the word "nat" captured in the middle. Always presumed it was just short for Nationals!<BR/><BR/>Herb Pleus is fine; but let us not leave out the 1959-60 cards for Chuck Stobbs; Tex Clevenger; Dick Hyde too. Now that was a bullpen! (They stunk!)<BR/><BR/>While Walter Johnson did end up doing tobacco ads,as depicted with Tuxedo herein, part of the folklore when I was growing up and attending Walter Johnson High School, was that, when first approached, he responded: "Why would I do that, when I don't smoke?" A baseball sort of version of George Washington's "I cannot tell a lie."<BR/><BR/>Trust in a true Nats fan.
