West Rotunda Gallery

To celebrate the Washington Nationals' 2019 World Series Championship, the National Archives is having a special document display in the West Rotunda Gallery of the National Archives Building in Washington, DC, through November 11, 2019.

The documents include a 1925 aerial photograph of Griffith Stadium in Washington, DC, where the Senators, the Negro League Homestead Grays, and other teams played between 1911 and 1965; a 1934 photograph of President Franklin D. Roosevelt throwing a baseball at Griffith Stadium before a Boston Red Sox vs. Washington Senators game; and an original pen-and-ink drawing by renowned political cartoonist Clifford Berryman drawn after the Senators’ narrow victory over the Yankees late in the 1924 season, a game that paved the way for the first DC World Series win.
