I was watching "The Karate Kid" the other day and noticed that in the course of defending and training up young Daniel-san, Mr. Miyagi fights off a man in a Washington Nationals hat. This was in 1984, long after the last iteration of Washington Senators teams and before the current Nationals came to town.

For a man who loves the phrase "wax on, wax off" as much as you do, you're lacking in your Karate Kid knowledge! Daniel lives in Reseda, Calif., by way of Newark, N.J.

The Senators wore that hat from 1968 to 1971.

I remember an episode of The Wonder Years where the showed a "home movie" from when the kids were little. Kevin was wearing a red Senators cap, despite the fact that the film was clearly supposed to have taken place before 1968. I really hope somebody go fired over that blunder.

Are all other California Nats fans racist like the movie character in question?

I think I read somewhere that they considered Chuck Norris for the role of the evil Kobra Kai instructor. That would have been awesome.

SWEEP THE LEG!
