Video: Abe Lincoln pays homage to… Sweden?

Abe Lincoln wins Nationals presidents raceOn a forgettable Saturday for fans at Nationals Park, the racing presidents ran a forgettable presidents race, with Abe Lincoln returning to his form of previous years by pacing the field.

In victory, the Great Emancipator waved a tiny Swedish flag as he paraded before the confused fans along the first base line. He was apparently paying tribute to Sweden, which adopted its flag 107 years ago today.

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.
