Let Teddy Win T-Shirts
Presidential winning streaks have been few and far between for George Washington this season, so after winning convincingly Friday night, George got a little cocky after leading Saturday’s presidents race from wire to wire.
As he crossed the finish line, the father of our country pulled out some talcum powder and clapped it on his hands, Lebron style. That’s when Teddy Roosevelt, who finished second, brought Washington’s big head down to the ground. Literally.
Will the presidents race standings remained tied heading into the All Star break?
Expect the racing presidents to making it interesting on Sunday for the last day of the Nationals’ Christmas in July Toy Drive. Livan Hernandez will be on the mound for a day packed full of promotions, including Scout Day, Family Fun Day, Signature Sunday, Kids Run the Bases, and free backpacks for the first 10,000 kids 12 and under.

George Washington was teamed with Thomas Jefferson and Abe Lincoln was teamed with Teddy Roosevelt as the race began. 
No. Many of the 33,774 in attendance Friday purchased their tickets in anticipation of Stephen Strasburg’s major league debut, which was ultimately pushed to next week. Many of our readers have expressed their hope to see a Teddy Victory when Stephen Strasburg makes his first start at Nationals Park, and perhaps for them, the question was whether Teddy would double the disappointment, or give the big crowd the “I was there” moment they’d hoped for.
The sun was shining on Nationals Park today as 18,673 fans watched the home team pummel the Milwaukee Brewers with near-flawless pitching, outstanding defense, heads-up baserunning, timely hitting, and yes, a little presidential butt-kicking too.
Tom teamed with George and Teddy teamed with Abe as the presidents took on each other — and the sausages.
