Abe slams into Teddy, George wins

A race that was otherwise free of gimmicks got briefly ugly Wednesday night at Nationals Park.

Just after George Washington passed Teddy Roosevelt in the right field corner, Abe Lincoln came from behind and slammed Teddy into the wall, knocking off Roosevelt’s glasses.

The race also marked the first appearance of the “new look” presidents at Nationals Park this season. They first made their appearance after the 2010 all star break, but had not been used in an official race this year. No comment from the team on when or why the “botox” presidents are used.

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.

  1. Give me a break, these ugly 2010 posers are but a pale version of the FANTABULOUS 2006 ORIGINALS! Stop messing with perfection.
