Video: Teddy fails to reel in the fish

In an attempt to inspire the Nationals to beat the Florida Marlins, Teddy Roosevelt ran the length of the presidents race on Saturday sporting fishing gear and rod.

Alas, while Teddy despite a great pitching effort by Livan Hernandez, the Nats failed to score as the Fish continued their dominance at Nationals Park.

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.
