President Coolidge Poses with the Washington Senators Baseball Team

This photograph was taken on September 5, 1924. Here, President Calvin Coolidge poses with members of the Washington Senators baseball team on the South Grounds, following their World Series championship. This was the first World Series win for a baseball team from Washington, D.C., and would remain the only such victory until the Washington Nationals became World Series champions in 2019. The group stands to the south of the West Colonnade, near what later became the Rose Garden.
