I found this site thanks to Jeff Passan’s recent Hot Stove piece about the Nationals (maybe not the most sincere reference, but I guess it works).

A few friends and I drove down to DC for the last game at RFK back in ‘07 and we had a ton of fun. Much of this had to do with the fact that we don’t get stuff like this in New York City (or Boston or Philadelphia, for that matter).

As a freelance sportswrtier, I guess that I am supposed to toe the line with the anonymous writer who essentially ripped apart the notion of actually having fun at a game. I’m supposed to honor the game by not giving in to these so-called shenanigans. Yet, as with your children, this is bringing people to the park. Provided that the Nationals invest their resources into the team, the Presidents Race is a small bit of honey to attract the bees. I’m just happy to have found a place that actually tracks Teddy’s progress. Mucho thanks.

Honest Abe? A Crook? Scandalous and unfounded lies! He won fair and square! He did it on beer and fruit salad!

What a stupid ‘gag’. I normally wouldn’t get excited over a mascot race but this bit is a disgrace to our greatest president who would have bitch-slapped the anyone in the Nationals org in reality. I’d like to get a team together to close-line the other participants of this stupid insulting gag…see how funny that is!

I love this website! I grew up in NoVa with the Senators and now live in CT and I have really enjoyed the Presidents’ race when I get down to DC to see a game…

It has quickly become a tradition in DC…

Please keep up the blog for this upcoming year as well….you should have a contest to come up with the most imaginitive (and doable) methods to foil Teddy for the upcoming season’s races.

Jessie, you know that they are all extra large, right? Don’t you want a toddler size?

I am pretty desperately looking for a George t-shirt to use as a gift for my three year old for a Christmas gift (to convert to a shirt that he can actually wear!)!!! Rachel, if you somehow see this, we would be happy to trade for a Tom shirt or for a “now this is a presidential race” shirt (featuring all four presidents). Anyone?

Kristin, you should also try posting the survey at WNFF.NET. Good luck!

Hi!

I’m Kristin, a University of Pennsylvania psychology student and a huge baseball fan. I am currently conducting an honors thesis study on clutch ability and psychological characteristics of Major league baseball players. I made a survey asking fans to rate players from various teams on certain characteristics. One of these teams is the Nationals and it would be great to have some Nationals fans fill out my survey and rate their favorite players. Here is some background info:

What is “clutch”? What players are considered “clutch” performers? What players are “gritty” or have natural talent? Are these players also “clutch”? These frequently cited terms in the game of baseball have rarely been objectively studied. I have created a survey asking about some Major League players’ characteristics and it would be great if some of you, being huge baseball fans, could fill it out! It should only take a maximum of 10 minutes. Also, I would love to hear any comments that you have about my survey! Thanks so much for all your help!

Here is the website for my survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=VUWValhJzb65tk1lZoMMEQ_3d_3d
