Nationals Park 1st Historic Weekend

[allstarsplus]

I just got back from a private event for the 1st practice in the new stadium. When they rolled out the batting cage, I decided to go where no man has gone before and go to leftfield to catch the 1st BP HR ball. It wasn't tough as nobody followed. I snagged the 1st 4 HRs before others followed.







Go Nationals 2008!!! Andrew

I hope it's not like Great American Ballpark or Citizens Bank. I have heard it's supposed to be another hitter's park. I guess time will tell. That is cool that you got into preview it. Should be fun watching the opener tomorrow night. I wonder with the Nats selling game used themselves if they have special opening day jerseys that will get put up for auction.

Actuallyyyyyy the first BP homerun ball hit in the new stadium was hit last year, remember? What you have is the first BP homerun ball from the COMPLETED stadium

Good point, lol. I remember that BP they did in the dirt but since there weren't fences then are they official? lol

Kyle - We play the Braves tomorrow and I know of 3 Braves fans coming out for the game. Should be fun.

Just got back from the exhibition game there with the Orioles and the ballpark was a pitcher's park tonight. Nothing was even close to leaving the park.

The place is beautiful as it is a mix of so many parks with a modern twist that fits well in DC architecture.

I hope to meet up with many Forum members at Nationals Park this season!
