First President's Race at Nationals Park

So it's clear that whoever scripts the Presidents races is not creative. Last night was the exhibition game against the Orioles and I thought it would be hysterical if Teddy won this race because since it is an exhibition game it wouldn't count on his record...thus he'd still have 0 wins. Predictably, one of the other presidents won. I tried out for the Presidents race last year at RFK. The story is that the Teddy outfit weighs 30 pounds more than the others. So by normal means, Teddy has a huge disadvantage. The first year of the presidents race, Teddy was actually a female which explains why he always finished last. Once the crowd rallied behind Teddy always losing, they started scripting the races for him to always lose.

The other thing now is they come out of centerfield and run down the track. Different, but whatever.
