Add this to the list of misspelled jerseys, writing "thank you for your patients" on their scoreboard during a rain delay and firing pieces of sausage on their fans with a t-shirt gun

[Youk Of The Nation]

Haha. Can the Nationals seriously fail anymore at the simple things?

I think there's a statue behind that one. Could be wrong.

 

EDIT: Top picture didn't load when I posted that. Wow. That is hideous.

If any of Johnson's relatives are alive, they should sue for defamation.

Horrible looking statues. If they wanted to have something that appeared in motion, why not have a normal looking statue with a little screen next to where it says his name showing game footage of him, we have the technology to do something better than this atrocity.

[Mr Crunchy]

Im not sure theres any game footage of walter johnson.

he and abner doubleday were classmates, he was also 1 of the 1st 5 men inducted into cooperstown.

1st 5 men selected were Honus Wagner Ty Cobb Christy Mathewson Johnson and...Babe Ruth.

By placing Austin Kearns on the DL earlier in the month, the Nats missed the chance to shed the $3.4MM remaining on his salary, according to Tom Verducci of SI.com. An unknown team claimed Kearns when the Nats placed him on waivers, so Washington was in a position to shed the remaining $2.4MM on his 2009 contract and avoid the $1MM buyout for next year. However, they placed him on the DL, meaning he could no longer be claimed.
