Washington Presidents Race National Sunglasses Day Sun Thomas JeffersonWashington Presidents Race National Sunglasses DayThe Washington Nationals returned to DC Monday night to kick off a homestand vs. the New York Mets on — what else? — National Sunglasses Day. Of course, the racing presidents did not pass up the chance to celebrate.

Visiting president Herbert Hoover started the fourth inning race with a big lead, but had apparently forgotten his sunglasses.

Teddy, George, Abe, and Bill all trailed behind Herbie sporting colorful shades, when Thomas Jefferson appeared from the bullpen carrying a bright golden sun.

Herbie was blinded and stopped in his tracks as Teddy Roosevelt and the other presidents sped by.

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.
