Nationals Park - Washington DC

By now many of you have realized that most of my trips include a baseball game. Well, our trip to DC was no exception. The week we were out there, the Milwaukee Brewers happened to be out in DC playing the Washington Nationals, so we were first in line to see a game, literally!

The Washington Nationals are a fairly new franchise, so Nationals Park is one of the newer ballparks in the league. I was disappointed, however, at the lack of asthetics throughout the park. To each their own I guess. Many of you may have forgotten about the Washington Senators of the 1900's, which shares the name of the current National Park.

We like to get to games early to heckle the outfielders during batting practice, and at this particular practice, heckling paid off as one of the Brewers pitchers tossed me up a souviner ball! As the game progressed, there were 2 rain delays, and as a result, people were leaving the park. So what did we do? Walked down to sit right behind the Brewers dugout for the rest of the game! Never done THAT before! What a great experience it all was!
