This we look back on the women's soccer history that took place at RFK Stadium. ⚽

The Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA) was founded in February 2000 following the success of 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup. The Washington Freedom was one of eight teams in the WUSA, the first professional women's soccer league in the United States. The first WUSA match kicked off at RFK Stadium on April 14, 2001 between Washington's Mia Hamm and Bay Area Cyber Ray's Brandi Chastain. Who came away with the win? ⤵️

Put me in, Coach! ⚾ Today's feature was submitted by Greg Howell.

In 1968, Howell wrote to Senators pitcher Dave Baldwin inviting him to his Babe Ruth League game. While Baldwin never made it to the game, he did Howell one better and invited his family to come out to see the Senators at RFK Stadium.

Even after a trade to the Milwaukee Brewers, Baldwin continued to leave passes for Howell and his family when he was in town. Their friendship continues to this day!
