2018 04 14 Nationals Ballpark, Washington DC

Nationals Park, Washington, DC - April 14, 2018

Our first ballgame as we pursue attending a game at each ball field during our travels. We had an easy ride on the Metro so no parking hassles downtown. Getting through security was a different matter. Slow, long lines. While the TSA has figured out nail clippers and small pocket knives these folks on the gates were not under those same directives. I had to surrender my 1.5 inch knife and was not happy about it. We hadn't gone twenty feet into the park when another security guard came up behind me and returned it to me. HUH? What was that all about? Glad to have it back though. 

Nationals win a comeback after the Colorado Rockies took a two run lead in the first. We thought with that beginning the Nats were in a heap of trouble. Ended up being a good game for the home team fans. 

A happy crowd leaving. We used to wait after the Cardinals games for the groundskeepers put on the tarp. Oh, no, that will never do now. All the seats have to be cleared as soon as possible and the ushers were not too shy about telling us to leave. Yikes. What is this world coming to when we aren't allowed to sit quietly after the game and wait for the crowds to clear out a little.
