Only rain prevents Abe from winning his 50th presidents race of the year (and Teddy his first)

It was in some ways a fitting end to a home season filled with one disappointment after another.

The Washington Nationals were to play their last home game of the season last night, and as part of “Fan Appreciation Night” had planned a non-stop onslaught of giveaways every inning, but with the Florida Marlins facing elimination from wild card contention, no make-up game will be scheduled.

The question on the minds of presidents race fans had been whether Abraham Lincoln would win a record 50th presidents race of the season, or Teddy Roosevelt would win his first, but neither will get his chance. Final standing here.

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.
