P-Nats

One of the Washington Nationals' minor league teams is the Potomac Nationals who have $1 Mondays.  So for $1 per person we got into the game.  And for an additional dollar per person, everyone got a hot dog.

Their mascot is Uncle Slam.  Some people near us won the "sweetheart of the game" or something so the mascot came up and gave a girl some flowers and balloons, then sat with the group in front of us for a minute.  This bottom left picture was as close to him as I could convince Buddy to get.  Ryan Zimmerman was playing with the P-Nats the night we were there doing rehab starts.  He's normally the big league 3rd baseman from the Washington Nationals.  He signed autographs (top left picture) and got a lot of cheers.  (Professional pictures here.)

Little Guy told me at one point that baseball games are really long and T-ball games are really short.  He was happy some, and grumpy a lot.  He was also disappointed because at the big league stadium they set off fireworks last year when we went (and for home runs).

P-Nats lost 8 to 1, I think.
