The1969Washington Senators season involved the Senators finishing fourth in the newly establishedAmerican League East with a record of 86 wins and 76 losses, their first winning season in franchise history, and only in Washington.

Offseason

January 8, 1969:John Orsino was purchased from the Senators by theNew York Yankees.^[1]

Regular season

[edit]

The year 1969 was a turning point in Washington sports history. The Senators namedTed Williams as manager. TheWashington Redskins hiredVince Lombardi as Head Coach and he had brought a winning attitude to the nation's capital. In the same year, the nearbyUniversity of Maryland had hiredLefty Driesell to coach basketball. It marked a renaissance in sports interest in America's most transient of cities.

The hiring of Ted Williams sparked at least increased curiosity in the team. Williams' fanatical approach to hitting helped improve the Senators offense considerably, and inspired the team to its one and only winning season during its 11-year stay in Washington. The Senators won 86 games, 21 more than in1968, and improved from last place in the ten-team 1968 American League to one game out of third in the newAL East division. For this remarkable turnaround, Williams was voted American League Manager of the Year. As a result, attendance at RFK Stadium improved to over 900,000, the highest attendance for the "new" Senators and, at the time, the highest in Washington's baseball history.
