Teddy Fans from Texas to invade Nationals Park tonight

Let Teddy Win Fans at Roosevelt IslandTeddy Roosevelt fans heading to Nationals Park tonight might want to check out the party in the Right Field Terrace, where a group of enthusiastic Teddy Roosevelt fans will be cheering on #26 during the 4th inning presidents race.

The group of American history students is on its 8th-grade visit to Washington, DC from Hillwood Middle school in Ft. Worth Texas. Faithful readers may recall the night they took over Nationals Park two years ago. The group once again voted on homemade Teddy #26 jerseys for their trip t-shirt.

In preparation for tonight’s contest, the group visited Roosevelt Island this afternoon, to give Teddy an inspirational pep talk.

We’ll be featuring a guest blog post from the Ft. Worth students later in the week.

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.

  2. Even though you didn’t win tonight, I bet you tried hard…despite Abe’s “honest” attempt.
