What should Washington’s new baseball team call itself? I’m a traditionalist, so Senators has some appeal. And I do like those red hats, with the distinctive “W.” (Maybe folks at Bush campaign headquarters should start wearing them.) Then again, the Senators were big-time losers: “First in war, first in peace, last in the American League.” So there’s a case to be made for something new. Or something old: In today’s Wash Post, Michael Wilbon suggests the Washington Grays. Not a bad idea.
