The Washington Nationals (known informally to their fans as the Senators) were the defending American League champions entering into 1934. Manager-Shortstop Joe Cronin, however, found 1934 rougher sledding, and the Nationals were unable to repeat, falling to 7th with a record of 66-86. Heine Manush was the Nats hitting star that year. Their starting rotation was, with the exception of Lefty Stewart, inadequate. The brightest spot on the Nats was their bullpen, led by Bobby Burke. The Nats finished the rest of the decade no higher than third, but no lower than sixth, making it a successful one by their standards.
