Teddy & Abe lose relay race vs. George & Tom

On Saturday night, the Washington Nationals racing presidents held a presidents race relay pitting the unlikely team of Teddy Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln vs. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Tom was the anchor runner of the winning team and declared the winner. Not that it mattered for Teddy. Our favorite #26 had ensured defeat by running 10 lengths behind George before he even passed the baton to Lincoln.

UPDATE: The team awarded 1 victory each in the standings to George Washington and Thomas Jefferson

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.
