Mark Grace says “I’m coming for you,” Teddy says “Bring It!”

Racing Mark Grace on the Nationals Park scoreboardTeddy Roosevelt says Bring It Mark GraceArizona Diamondbacks TV analyst and “Racing Legend” Mark Grace responded to Wednesday night’s challenge with one of his own in the final race of the homestand Thursday night.

Following a decisive presidents race victory by Abe Lincoln, Nationals Park P.A. announcer Jerome Hruska intoned “Live from Chase Field in Arizona, it’s a special message for you Teddy.”

Just then on the HD scoreboard a video feed appeared of the Arizona Diamonbacks’ “Racing Legend” Mark Grace, holding a sign reading “Hey Teddy, I’m coming for you… We’ll see you in 2012.”

Teddy’s response? His own sign saying “Bring It!”

It appears we’ll see some Legends vs. Presidents action in the 2012 season. If so, it seems either Teddy or Mark will have to win.

After the race, the Nationals presidents met up with the real Mark Grace in the broadcast booth, where he was covering the game for Fox Sports Arizona.

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.
