WASHINGTON NATIONALS

The beloved Washington Nationals are poised to be one of the Major League's best teams in 2013, so tickets are a hot commodity! Catch a game at the beautiful Nationals Park, located near the Navy Yard downtown, and if you're there early enough, you might just meet one of our country's former presidents. (Watch them race during the fourth inning and see if poor Teddy Roosevelt will ever get another win!)
