I have always heard people talk about the wonders of America’s favorite sport, baseball. For years I never really understood the excitement of baseball. Prior to moving to the area I lived in areas without a professional home baseball team so the only baseball experiences I had were watching games on television. And for myself there is no magic in watching a televised baseball game. Recently I have started attending Washington National’s game and found a new enjoyment for America’s pastime.
You can get off of work in the evening, take the green line to Navy Yard, bring a student or military ID and get a discount on your tickets, it is really that easy to get into a game and inexpensive as well. Then once you are in the park just grab a cold drink, something to snack on and enjoy a good game. I attended the Cardinals game last Wednesday and was treated to a 10-0 victory by the Nats, which was very exciting for a new baseball fan. The new stadium is also a treat because there are truly no bad seats in the stadium and if you don’t want to sit you can always hang out at the bar on the upper level and check out the game from there. You can also check out a great view of the Washington Monument while overlooking Anacostia.
Not only is the environment of being at Nats Park so great, but the Nationals are in the middle of a winning streak, winning ten of their last eleven games. And everyone knows it is more fun to check out a winning team. July 4th will be a great day to check out a game with the Chicago Cubs coming into town at 1:15pm . If you get to the game earlier you will can receive a promotional a baseball cap.
