An appreciation of Joe Grzenda (say who??) who just passed
Only old farts like me who were fans of the pathetic 1970-71 Washington Senators before they defected to Texas (and maybe Dan Mckee, who is a semi-old fart), leaving us local fans without a MLB team for an eternity (33 years, to be exact), are likely to remember lefty pitcher Joe Grzenda. With an 8-8 W-L record for his 2 years with the Senators, obviously he was one of their outstanding pitchers!
 I think all will enjoy reading this appreciation piece that appears in the Sports Section of today's Wash. Post and learning about Grzenda's claim to fame: https://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...=.213ec32a5b5c

Val, you can't lay complete claim to ol' Joe as one of yours. I remember him distinctly from 1969 as a Twin--he pitched pretty well in limited time. What I recall most is that he was traded for Brant Alyea before the 1970 season, and, as sometimes happened with Topps, both players were shown with the Senators in the 1970 set, leaving us Twins fans without Alyea, who started his career in huge fashion for Minnesota that first month. We saw the Sens getting the best of both worlds while we got stiffed.

He lived near me, here is an article that ran in the local paper. I saw him a time or two at Scranton Yankees / Railriders games.
