The Roosevelt Section at Nationals Park

Longtime Washington sports columnist Rick Snider makes a strong case once again in today’s Examiner for the Washington Nationals to let Teddy Roosevelt win the presidents race.

Snider is concerned that a president “whose accomplishments have him ranked among the top five” will be branded a loser by thousands of young Nationals fans.

The latest insult, says Snider, is that Teddy Roosevelt’s name is conspicuously absent from the new Nationals Park. There are Lincoln, Washington, and Jefferson suites, but “not even a Roosevelt snack bar.”

I agree with Rick. Since our Teddy was a friend of the common man, let’s rename the outfield bleachers the Roosevelt section. Bully, Bully!

Presidents Race Fan

I am a huge Washington Nationals fan (and partial season ticket holder) whose son fell in love with the Presidents Race from that first day in July, 2006 when big-headed Teddy first came up short. It's wonderful to think that such a fan-friendly tradition could become established in DC so quickly. Who says DC doesn't have great fans? I hope that our chants of "Let Teddy Win!" during the Presidents Race will continue to add fun and excitement to Nationals Park, and help turn more and more young people into Washington Nationals fans. I started letteddywin.com to have fun and help fuel the fan spirit around the presidents race.
