Nats racing presidents ask fans to send Zimm to Anaheim

Ryan Zimmerman needed little help making his case for the All-Star team on Tuesday, belting a double and two home runs, including a walk-off game-winner to lead off the 9th inning.

Nationals racing presidents vote for Ryan ZimmermanBut in fact the best third baseman in the National League did not draw the fan votes he needed for an automatic berth, and while he was honored to be named to the “Final Vote” ballot by National League managers, he still needs fan support to be named as the final member of the roster.

So after Abraham Lincoln narrowly edged Thomas Jefferson to take Tuesday’s presidents race victory, the Nats’ racing presidents made a plea of their own, holding up signs that said “Send Zimm to Anaheim.” Even the Gecko joined in. VOTE 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.
