June 7
1933 – Cleveland GM Billy Evans hires former Senator legend Walter Johnson as manager. Johnson succeeds another former Nat and former teammate, 1925 AL MVP Roger Peckinpaugh.
Meanwhile, the future AL pennant winners are engaging in a slugfest at Shibe Park. The A’s and Nats battle to a 13-13 tie in 10 innings. Jimmie Foxx poles a 3-run homer in the 8th to deadlock the match at 11. Washington plates 2 in the top half of the 10th for a 13-11 lead, but the Mackmen promptly score 2 in their half to even the score once again. Foxx is at the plate when the contest is called due to rain. Ossie Bluege and Moe Berg each homer for Washington.
1946 – Signed 3 days previously, Bobo Newsom commences his 4th stint as a Senator with a victory over the visiting 
White Sox, 3-2.
1957 – Coughing up leads of 4-0 and 7-4, the Sens still manage to extract a victory at Cleveland, 11-7. An error by Tribe SS Larry Raines on a Frank Bolling grounder opens the floodgates to a 4 run Nats 8th inning. Tex Clevenger gets the win in relief.
1966 – Frank Robinson‘s one out RBI single in the bottom of the 12th caps a 3 run Baltimore rally, as the Sens drop a heartbreaker, 6-5. Ken McMullen‘s 2-run single in the top of the 12th places the Sens in the lead, 5-3. Nats rookies Dick Lines and Dick Bosman, appearing in his 3rd ML game, allow 5 consecutive Orioles to reach base, setting the stage for Robinson’s game winner, his 4th safety of the contest.
In the amateur draft earlier that day, the Sens used their 1st round pick on Tom Grieve. Also selected in the draft is Del Unser during the secondary phase.
