Click here to view a picture of the announcement. Washington sports fan will recall this is a move straight out of the Ted Leonsis playbook. Of course, the easiest way to take back the park is to put a better team on the field, and all indications are that the Nationals will be a bit better this season.
Might be time to sell the wife on a partial season plan.
