An Autograph From Nationals Park

About a week ago...I went up to D.C. to go see a Nationals game. One of my coaches has connections from his wife who works at the Pentagon. She gets free Nationals tickets to every home game the Nationals play. She generously extends the connections through my coach, who then extends them to some of his best buddies. Besides the cost of food, these trips to the park are absolutley free to me. He has brought me to now 2 Nationals games with some other friends and his son. We have had an absolute blast! The tickets aren't nosebleeds either! The last game I went to had tickets right behind the home dugout when Strasburg was on the mound!! It was an awesome experience to be so close to him. Knowing that when he was sitting in the dugout, he was right below you. Awesome experiences and awesome seats! I took many pictures of Strasburg and Harper that I will share with you below. Last game I got an autograph from Gio Gonzalez, pitcher for the Nats. I yelled out his name, Gio, right before the National Anthem, and he turned around and saw I had a ball and a pen. So he had me throw the ball and pen down into the dugout so he could sign it without being seen. Pretty cool to know this ball was in the dugout with Harper and Strasburg. Anyways, here is the ball and the pictures of Harper and Strasburg!


Nice looking autograph I thought! Thanks Gio!

Now for some cool pictures of Harper and Strasburg...

Nationals Park is a nice park...although the nosebleeds that you speak of are WAY up there.
