No Divine Intervention at Nationals Park

Posted on April 23, 2008 by Presidents Race Fan

Nationals fans had high hopes that the Pope Benedict XVI might leave behind some holy mojo for the home team after presiding over mass at Nationals Park just a few days ago. Unfortunately, Mets pitcher Johan Santana had other ideas, scattering 7 hits and ruining another good outing by Nationals pitcher Tim Redding to kick [...]

Losing Streaks Continue at Nationals Park

Posted on April 10, 2008 by Presidents Race Fan

With George, Tom, and Abe having each won one of the first three presidents races at Nationals Park, and the snakebitten Washington Nationals coming into the evening on a 6-game skid, the question on the mind of Nats fans was whether they would see the end of somebody’s losing streak tonight against the Florida Marlins. [...]

Presidents Race “Best On-Field Promotion of 2007″

Posted on March 20, 2008 by Presidents Race Fan

GameOps.com, a web site focused on sports entertainment and promotions, recognized the Washington Nationals presidents race with its Golden Steagle award for best contest or on-field promotion of 2007. Of course I couldn’t agree more, but this is a nice feather in the cap for Stan Kasten and the young Nationals marketing team, especially considering [...]

Nationals Park Photos

Posted on February 5, 2008 by Presidents Race Fan

New Nationals Park In today’s Nationals Journal, Washington Post beat writer Barry Svrluga finally got to show off some photos from his recent tour of Nationals Park under construction.

Washington Nationals Trade All Their Left-Handed Starters

Posted on November 30, 2007 by Presidents Race Fan

When I first saw the cozy right field dimensions of the new Nationals Park, my first thought was “if their averages don’t improve at least we’ll see more home runs from Ryan Church and Brian Schneider.” Well, today the Washington Nationals announced that they had traded Brian Schneider and Ryan Church to the New York [...]

The team’s own Mike Bacsik has been nominated for Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated writer Lee Jenkins. Bacsik, the journeyman lefthander with a 5.46 career ERA, was one of several improbable starters for the 2007 Nationals, whose already-thin rotation was [...]

The giant curly W that sticks out from the Nationals Park scoreboard is [...]

Presidents Race Videos

Posted on October 23, 2007 by Presidents Race Fan

Announcing the Presidents Race Videos page. Nats fans know that the presidents race is superior to all those other racing characters from around Major League Baseball. The theme is uniquely DC, the costumes are outrageous, and I doubt any sausage could ever captivate a city the way loveable Teddy has captured the hearts of Washington [...]
