Great post. Thanks for sharing. I especially like the "nothing dear, go back to sleep" comment

I turned to my Fiancee who I am forcing to watch the games with me (she's bored mindless) and said that I have the original photo used for that front page from 1933. That peaked her interest a little bit... ("What's that worth???" Nothing Dear... go back to sleep.). I'm sorry I said anything.

Anyway, I hardly ever post photos from my personal collection, but I thought it would be cool considering it has been so many years since the Nats have played this late in the year, and they need some positive mojo!

I also got a mention during the World Series.

In the top of the 7th inning of Game 6 of the 2019 World Series, Fox showed the clip from Game 5 of Washington fan Jeff Adams taking a home run ball to his chest because he didn't want to let go of his two cans of Bud Light. Budweiser rewarded him by sending him to Game 6, and after Fox showed the clip they had a live shot of Adams in the stands. Adams is looking into the camera, giving the thumbs-up.



That prompted broadcaster John Smoltz to say: "We had the Todd Frazier Thumbs Down Guy... hey, now we get the thumbs-up guy, or the two-beers guy."
