ANALYSIS/OPINION
We are just a few days away from the 20th anniversary of the worst year of professional sports in the District of Columbia.
There may be some argument as to whether 1997 was the worst year of pro sports within the boundaries of the city. But I don’t see how. There were no professional sports in the District in 1997.
There was no major league baseball here then, of course, and the Redskins had left RFK Stadium the year before for their first season at what was then called Jack Kent Cooke Stadium in the Maryland suburbs.
