The Washington Nationals version of the races is the "Running of the Presidents" - Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington and Teddy Roosevelt. In "all the yrs" the Nats have been in DC, Teddy has never, ever run a race.
At Starsburg's first game against Pittsburgh, the Pierogi's joined the President's in the race between innings. As it came down to the end of the race one of the Pierogi's tackled another using a flying, shoulder to the gut tackle that would have made Lawrence Taylor proud (LT the football player, not the druggie). Great fun.
PS - many of us believe Teddy will win a race either the day the Nats wrap up a playoff spot or host their first playoff game......whenever that is. Run Teddy, run!
