1933 was a tough year. FDR had just taken office with about one in three Americans unemployed. Banks were failing left and right and wiping out people's savings. There was no social safety net. For the first time in the history of the country there were credible reports of people dying from hunger.
It was also the last time a major league baseball team from Washington DC, the old Senators, made it to the playoffs... until tonight. For the first time in 79 years a baseball team from the nation's capitol
will be playing in the post season.
Congrats to the Washington Nationals!
