The Nats in September

We're the Washington Nationals, and that's what we do. We spend most of the year being dead last in our division, but in September when the division champ is determined, we beat up on the division champ for a while before we go home in October. Let's go Nats!

I'm a Nats fan. Lived in D.C., walking distance from the ballpark, while they made the move from being the Montreal Expos. The day they announced it, I bought my first-ever baseball cap. The first Nats home game in D.C. was a pre-season exhibition game, and I went. It was my second MLB game as an adult, ever. I'd never even cared about baseball, but this was something to do. It was cold out, but I loved the experience. I was a Nats fan. I went so much the next two years that by their third season (2007), I decided to own a 20-game plan. I did the same the following year, and I've been wearing one of my Nationals Park 2008 Inaugural Season long-sleeve shirts today. Yesterday, I wore a T-shirt with the Nats' DC logo. So there ya go. I'm a Nats fan.
