Went looking for some @lostballparks yesterday in #WashingtonDC and found the commemorative home plate markers for both #GriffithStadium and 1886’s #CapitolPark aka #SwampdoodleGrounds. Griffith Stadium, home to the #WashingtonSenators and the legendary #HomesteadGrays of the #NegroLeagues stood until 1965 and is commemorated inside the halls of @HowardUniversityHospital. The @Smithsonian’s @NationalPostalMuseum now stands on the Swampdoodle site, the first DC ballfield that featured professional players. #baseball ⚾️ 🏟 (at Howard University Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcLTRYnr9Em/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
