#OTD Wednesday 10 April 1968 The Washington Senators baseball team played the Minnesota Twins at the DC Stadium (2400 East Capitol St, SE). The game was originally scheduled for Monday 8 April but was postponed due to the uprising. It was rescheduled for Tuesday 9 April. However, after the funeral for Rev. Dr. Martin Luther, King, Jr. was changed to Tuesday, the game was rescheduled for today. 

The Senators lost 2-0 to the Twins. There were 32,000+ in attendance for the 2pm game that lasted 2 hours. (The stadium capacity was 45,000.)
