Prior to the 2005 season, the current Nationals team played in Montreal as the Montreal Expos. The team's relocation was the first in Major League Baseball since 1972, when the Washington Senators moved to the Dallas/Fort Worth area, becoming the Texas Rangers. The franchise became Washington's first in the National League since 1899, and was owned by Major League Baseball from 2002 (in Montreal) until mid-2006. On May 3, 2006, a new ownership group was selected, headed by Theodore N. Lerner. The group formally took possession of the team on July 22, 2006. Former longtime Atlanta Braves sports executive Stan Kasten is President of the team. The Nationals are a member of the National League's Eastern Division (both previous Nationals/Senators teams played in the American League), and they currently play at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, which 30+ years ago was the ballpark for the second Senators team. The team is expected to move into a new ballpark, located in Southeast D.C. near the Anacostia River and with views of the Capitol building, in the spring of 2008.</description><generator>Fwicki.Com - Fwicki Feed Generator</generator><language>en-us</language><image><url>http://www.fwicki.com/images/ui/feed-link.png</url><title>Fwicki - RSS Management</title><link>http://www.fwicki.com/fwickis/MLB/Washington-Nationals</link><description>Fwicki - RSS Management</description><width>88</width><height>90</height></image><item><title>Ex-Oriole Davey Johnson enjoying new role with Nationals</title><link>http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bal-davey-johnson-0318,0,4358946.story</link><guid>http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bal-davey-johnson-0318,0,4358946.story107</guid><description>Still looking out of place with a curly W on his cap, Davey Johnson bounds from the Washington Nationals dugout and seeks out an old friend in opposing colors.</description><pubDate>Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:26:07 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Consumer Product Gateways</title><link>http://www.fwicki.com/Definitive-Axis-Conduits/Commerce-Gateways/RSS-Consumer-Product-Gateways.aspx</link><guid>http://www.fwicki.com/Definitive-Axis-Conduits/Commerce-Gateways/RSS-Consumer-Product-Gateways.aspx2</guid><description>&lt;table width="900" border="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;
