The 1933 Washington Senators was a season in American baseball . They won 99 games, lost 53, and finished in first place in the American League . It was their third, and last, pennant of their existence. The team was managed by Joe Cronin and played home games at Griffith Stadium . They lost in the World Series in 5 games to the New York Giants .
It would be the last time a Major League Baseball postseason series would be held in Washington until the 2012 season . The Senators franchise, which moved to Minneapolis–St. Paul after the 1960 season, has since won three American League pennants (1965; 1987; 1991) and two World Series (1987 and 1991 ) as the Minnesota Twins.

Player-manager Cronin was selected to the All-Star team as the starting shortstop and finished second in MVP voting. He also led the Senators with 118 runs batted in. 19-year-old infielder Cecil Travis had five hits in his major league debut.[ 1]
