1969 Washington Senators season The 1969 Washington Senators season involved the Senators finishing 4th in the newly established American League East with a record of 86 wins and 76 losses.Offseason The year 1969 was a turning point in Washington sports history. The Senators named Ted Williams as manager. The Washington Redskins hired Vince Lombardi as Head Coach and he had brought a winning attitude to the nation's capital. In the same year, the nearby University of Maryland had hired Lefty Driesell to coach basketball. It marked a renaissance in sports interest in America's most transient of cities. The hiring of Ted Williams sparked at least increased curiosity in the team. Williams' fanatical approach to hitting helped improve the Senators offense considerably, and inspired the team to its one and only winning season during its 11-year stay in Washington. The Senators won 86 games, 21 more than in 1968 , and improved from last place in the ten-team 1968 American League to one game out of third in the new AL East division . For this remarkable turnaround, Williams was voted American League Manager of the Year . As a result, attendance at RFK Stadium improved to over 900,000, the highest attendance for the "new" Senators.Season standings Record vs. opponents Opening Day starters Player stats Batting Starters by position Note: Pos = Position; G = Games played; AB = At bats ; R = Runs scored ; H = Hits; Avg. = Batting average; HR = Home runs; RBI = Runs batted in ; SB = Stolen bases Pos Player G AB R H Avg.
