January 10, 2020 (updated May 2026):
A number of other places on the web are devoted to Washington, D.C., baseball, past and present. Here’s are links to some of them:
“The Expansion Washington Senators:

Because the pages is now private, you need an invitation from a current member to join.
D.C. Baseball History Yesterday and Today:
and the associated Facebook page, Washington D.C. Baseball – Yesterday & Today:

Washington Nationals History (Current Franchise):
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1592969114297565
These last two pages are also now private, thanks to against-the-rules ad posts, so you need a current member’s invitation to get access.
Mark Zuckerman’s Nats Journal on Substack is a go-to web spot for daily coverage of the Nationals, providing more than what remains of Washington Post sports. Zuckerman, who has covered the Nationals since day one in 2005, does this at his own expense, making most road trips by charging a reasonable fee, monthly or annual, to read his two regular daily stories. He had more 7,000 paid subscribers as of May 2026.
Washington Senators (The Summer of ’69):

TalkNats.com and Federalbaseball.com are two of the most active web site devoted to coverage of the current Nationals. TalkNats is a paid site.
Stars and Strikes: A Washington Nationals Newsletter by Michael Natelli is on Substack for $5 a month. You can get a seven-day free trial.
Squibber is the quarterly online newsletter of the Bob Davids Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research. Join SABR and the chapter to read interesting articles about D.C. baseball.
Suggestions for additions are welcome. Of course, the team’s official web site, washingtonnationals.com, has many useful features, including all-time leaders lists for the Expos/Nationals franchise., sadly (to me) mixing them together.
I can’t recommend the Nationals’ posts on si.com (indicating some association with the Sports Illustrated name), often picked up by MSN’s news feed. These teaser-headline posts often are regurgitated from daily coverage by Zuckerman or site mentioned above. I have yet to find anything new there.
D.C. Baseball History has a strong connection to the Washington Baseball Historical Society. I’m not sure the society is still as active as it once was. Nats News, the quarterly newsletter of the society, is no longer published and its longtime editor, James R. Hartley, died in August 2020. The web site and Facebook page, run by Mark Hornbaker, are still going strong. For several years, Hornbake at his own expense has organized an annual D.C. Baseball History Meeting as well as administering several of the above mentioned web sites. He is undoubtedly today the primary keeper-of-the-flame for Senators’ fans.
