Final weekend for Nats
For the final weekend of the 2006 season, the Nationals will have giveaways each day as part of Fan Appreciation Weekend.
Friday night’s giveaway will be a fleece blanket (given to the first 15,000 fans); Saturday’s item will be a Team Photo with the 2007 Early Bird schedule, sponsored by Southwest Airlines (to ALL fans); and on Sunday, ALL fans will receive Nationals long-sleeved t-shirts, courtesy of Comcast and MASN.
There will also be the Comcast Fan Fest presented by MASN (oh, they kissed and made up) with an “inflatable obstacle course, bounce house and giant slide; along with a speed pitch with radar, batting cage, swing stations and a dunk tank.”
Last year there were giveaways throughout the final game, every inning if I recall correctly. Also, expect an (informal) sendoff for manager Frank Robinson too. He is not expected to be retained, (The Post) likely ending his 51 season in baseball. Lastly, look for Teddy to win the presidents race for the first time all season.
