Washington Senators Return to DC After 37 Years (Washington Times)

Not really.

But the franchise known as the Washington Senators from 1961-1971 came back to the Nation's Capital for the first time. It is now known as the Texas Rangers.

The former Rangers were the visiting team playing against the home team that is now called the Washington Nationals. These additional irony because the home team is the franchise that was formerly the Montreal Expos.

In a true Washington baseball fashion the Nationals now dwell in last place, a place familiar to the Senators and their fans back in the old days.

Such is the world of professional baseball.

BTW, the Washington team beat the former Washington team 4-3.
