In the spring of 1933, with a new president in office and a banking
crisis narrowly averted, there was optimism in Washington, D.C.,
even among the baseball fans. The hard-luck Senators, who topped 90
wins in each of the previous three seasons only to finish well in
back of the pennant winner, seemed full of promise. They secured a
"new deal" of their own with 26-year-old Joe Cronin, their peppery
shortstop, who had emerged as one of the best players in the
American League. Newly signed as the youngest manager in the
majors, Cronin was determined to lead the Senators to the pennant,
though Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and the world champion New York
Yankees stood in the way.
