 This book is not what you think it is...... May 20, 2005
By W. Dobson
While the cover of this book purports it to be "The History...of Baseball in Washington, D.C." it is anything but that and anyone expecting to read about the Senators will be sorely disappointed. How can any book on Washington baseball fail to mention, even in passing, the likes of Goose Goslin, Sam Rice, Mickey Vernon or Frank Howard? In fact only seven of the sixteen Senators in the Hall of Fame merit any mention at all with most of those who are included receiving only a word or two at most. Where's the story of the mysterious death of Ed Delahanty? How about the world series exploits of Fred Lindstrom and Sam Rice? Where are the odd stories of Denny McClain, Curt Flood and Ted Williams in Washington? This book is actually a collection of essays on baseball, some interesting, some not, including pieces on T-ball, a college wooden bat league in the Shenandoah Valley, Pete Rose, Pete Rose, Jr., Harry Carray and Joe Jackson. I want my money back!

 Misleading title Aug 06, 2005
By Sonderweg
I have many of the same comments as the previous reviewers. The book's title is misleading, and really has very little to do with the history of professional baseball in Washington or its suburbs. Morever, this has to be one of the worst edited books I have ever read. I found several misspellings of proper names and several outright factual errors - and I wasn't even looking particularly close for either. Overall, the book was an interesting read, but I think it could have been better presented.

Good book on the history of all aspects baseball in DC, not just pro ball Jul 26, 2005
By TheHappyHermit
Overall, I liked this book. The title of the book is both misleading and right on. "The Nationals Past Times" makes you think it will be about a history of the old Nationals/Senators major league team. However, they only briefly talk about that. "The History And New Beginning Of Baseball In Washington, D.C." part of the title is a bit more relevant to the contents of the book. While I didn't see much about the "New Beginning" part, the book does cover all aspects of the history of baseball in DC (Pro, Semi-Pro, Little League, you name it).
I really enjoyed the first 8 chapters that made up the "In the past" section. The remainder of the book was a pretty even mix of interesting items and less interesting items. Luckily, if you find yourself reading a chapter about an aspect of DC baseball that you don't care about, you don't have much further to read because most of the chapters are pretty short.
All in all, it was a pretty good read.
