Washington Interns

There really is nothing like baseball, as it is truly an unique American past-time…and what better place to watch America’s favorite sport than in our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.!  After being absent from the District for over 30 years (When the Washington Senators were relocated to Dallas, TX as the Texas Rangers), baseball has finally returned with the Washington Nationals! 

Going to a Nationals game is an experience all on its own as well, since you wouldn’t expect a die-hard fanbase over a team that they’ve barely even had a chance to know…but this is hardly the case…Fans reacted as if this had been their home team for years, maybe even decades, and many even give wicked looks or yell profanity at those who wear the opponent’s colors (I know since I was a victim of this!)

 Not only are the Nationals gaining an increasing number of fans, but they also have been recently located to a new home…one that is actually used for baseball too! (unlike RFK Stadium, which is actually a football stadium).  Just having opened its doors this past March 2008, Nationals Park is truly an amazing state-of-the-art facility, which an enormous 4,500 sqare foot HD scoreboard!  It is also the 1st major stadium in the United States to be certified LEED Green!  If you haven’t been to Nationals Park, I would highly recommend it, whether or not you’re a Nationals fan!  Not only do you get to enjoy this spectacular facility, but you also get a taste of what Washington baseball is all about.  As they steadily grow in popularity, it is very likely that in the next few years the Washington Nationals will be one of the bigger franchises in the MLB.
