I can see the uniforms now...with a sXe on the back.

Mayor Williams is opposed to The Senators as DC only has shadow senators.

should be the Isotopes

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Why "Grays"?

But Negroes don't even play baseball anymore.
 
 With the exception on Jerry Hairston, who is half white, there's not a single African-American on the Orioles.
 
 Why not use some sort of Hispanic reference in the name? A majority of the players these days are Hispanic, and DC has a large Hispanic community...

 Tim Raines, Jr. and Darnell McDonald would be very surprised to hear that.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

They don't count. They both are and always will be career minor leaguers occasionally called up to plug in injury holes.

Well, they're on the roster, so MLB says they count. Raines has been playing all month, and McDonald is a rookie. If you're an O's fan, shouldn't you know this?
