The GWMP encompasses some 7,428 acres in Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. For reasons that will later be explained, a small part of this acreage is not administered by its superintendent, and a greater amount of land formerly within GWMP now lies within another national park unit. Some of the GWMP acreage the superintendent administers is commonly known by other names, like Great Falls Park in Virginia and Glen Echo Park in Maryland. While most national park units may be characterized as predominantly natural, historical, or recreational, GWMP comprises such a diverse array of natural, historic, and recreational resources that it defies any such categorization. Further complicating matters, GWMP's superintendent also administers four other areas classed as discrete national park units-Arlington House, The Robert E.

Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.

  • Presidents and Baseball in Dc
    TEAM UP JANUARY TOUCH BASE 2021 PRESIDENTS AND BASEBALL IN DC Across the country, Opening Day marks the beginning of a new Major League Baseball season. In Washington, DC, Opening Day is truly unique because it often makes history. Major League Baseball’s ceremonial first pitch goes back to April 14, 1910. William Howard Taft, the 27th president of the United States, attended the home opener of the Washington Senators against the Philadelphia Athletics. A sold out crowd of 12,226 fans—the largest baseball crowd in Washington at that time—gave President Taft a standing ovation as he made his way to his seats along the first-base line. Just prior to the start of the game, umpire Billy Evans walked over to President Taft’s box and presented him with a new baseball. Evans instructed President Taft that he was to throw the ball from his seat in the stands to Senators pitcher Walter Johnson to officially start the season. With Taft’s on-target throw, the ceremonial first pitch was born. The president watched the whole game, a 3-0 Washington win in which Johnson threw a one-hit, complete-game shutout. From 1910 through 1972, when the Washington Senators left for Texas, 11 presidents threw a ceremonial first pitch 45 times on Opening Day, or at the team’s home opener if they began the season on the road. In those games the Senators won 23 and lost 22. Prior to the Senators move, every president since Taft was in attendance for a Washington Senators home opener at least once.
