Video: In extra 13th-inning race, Abe steals a W

Presidents race observers have long suspected that race judge Screech was in the pocket of speedy rail splitter Abraham Lincoln.

Sure enough, with few fans still awake to serve as witness, Screech slipped an extra “W” Lincoln’s way early Tuesday morning as the Nationals ran a bonus post-midnight presidents race in the 13th inning of the Nats’ victory over the Atlanta Braves.

After barely losing a photo finish to Thomas Jefferson in the evening’s first race, the Great Emancipator replayed the scene in the bonus frame, this time apparently crossing the finish line just behind George Washington, but Screech awarded the win to Lincoln anyway.

Judge for yourself:

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.
