If this were based on accomplishments only when the franchise was based in Washington, slugger Frank Howard would easily hold the top spot.
Howard was the bright spot on some week Washington Senator teams, but he would give the fans reasons to cheer, winning the Home Run Title and blasting 40 Home Runs three consecutive seasons. He would also show very good plate discipline with two seasons over .400 in On Base Percentage. As a Senator, Howard finished in the top ten in MVP voting three times.
