Baseball has found a new home in Washington, DC, and it's 15 minutes from my apartment (by bike).
Tonight, the Washington Nationals kicked off their season against the Atlanta Braves winning 3-2 in the bottom of the 9th. Ryan Zimmerman won they game by hitting a solo home run over center field. Here's what the Post says:
Nationals Park had quite an opening. Ryan Zimmerman hit a tiebreaking homer off Peter Moylan with two outs in the ninth inning, and the Washington Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 Sunday night in the first regular-season game at the $611 million stadium.
The brand spanking new stadium (that was built on schedule and within budget!) has a great view of the U.S. Capitol building. There were also the requisite fireworks, red carpet, U.S. President, and general hooplah. It was great. I highly recommend the kosher hot dogs.... very tasty.
Random question: Does anyone out there know why in the 9th inning people were turning their baseball hats inside out?
