Ryan Bloom, English, in the American Prospect

“For major league baseball fans in Washington, it’s been 79 years of waiting for another postseason appearance. The last time they made it to the playoffs, Herbert Hoover was just leaving the first air-conditioned Oval Office. This Sunday, the wait ends,” writes Ryan Bloom, English lecturer, in The American Prospect.

Bloom gives an account of the complicated history of baseball in the nation’s capital, concluding that “Whatever may come, the excitement in Washington is palpable… it seems D.C. fans of all stripes know what the rest of baseball is just figuring out: This time, the Washington Nationals are here to stay.”

The piece, “Nationals Pride,” appeared online on October 5.

Giveaways! (with the Graduate Coordinator for LGBTQ Programs):  Get to know me (Oteri Esiekpe), the Graduate Coordinator for LGBTQ Programs, and pick up some goodies (buttons, cookies, slap bracelets, and many more!).  Please remember that my new office is located on the 3rd floor of The Commons, Suite 336.

Come Out Speak Out:  To honor LGBTQ History Month and National Coming Out Day the Women's Center is collecting your stories and experiences! Stop by their table at the Resource Fair or the Center anytime after 1pm on October 10th or anytime on October 11th to share your story!
