I’ll admit it…on the field, the “Natinals” suck this year and ditto for the win column. But there’s one good thing about Nats home games: The President’s Race. A hilarious event at every Nats home game, it takes place in the middle of the 4th inning and it’s fun for all ages as Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson and Roosevelt race from roughly the bullpen to down the first base line with a few predictable (and unpredictable) hijinks along the way. A recent race as well as the beginning of a “Let Teddy Win” campaign can be seen in this short video after the jump…as for the campaign, Teddy has never won a race since the tradition began. The tally to date from the official start in 2006 through Saturday: Lincoln 106 wins, Washington 70 wins, Jefferson 69 wins, Pittsburgh Pierogies 1 win (visitor who stole one on 5/21), Roosevelt SQUADOOSH! 0 wins. It’s become a predictable part of the event yet still enjoyable considering Teddy nearly wins and has fallen victim to a few DQ’s due to illegal yet funny tactics. Anyway, here’s the video…(and by the way, a lot of the stunts you see during the races are impromptu and not planned in advance)
