For those Nats fans who don’t have season tickets, and want to attend the exhibition game this Saturday there is hope for you! Talk Radio 3WT is hosting a “ball walk” event on Friday, March 28th. The first 100 people who sign up to participate and complete the walk from RFK to Nationals Park, will get two tickets to Saturday’s game and a t-shirt. The exhibition game is only open to season ticket holders and invited guests, it’s slated to be a test of the park before Sunday’s home opener. The game should be a good time, and this event sounds like fun.

Talk Radio 3WT Hosts Inaugural “Ball”…Walk
Station to Literally walk Nats Ceremonial First Ball to New Home

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 25, 2008 – Washington’s Talk Radio 3WT (1500 AM and 107.7 FM), the flagship station of the Washington Nationals, will be celebrating the debut season in a brand new stadium by inviting fans to take part in a 3 mile walk to deliver the ceremonial first pitch baseball from the Nats old home at RFK Stadium to the new Nationals Park.

The walk will be hosted by air personality Nigel from 3WT’s “The Tony Kornheiser” Show. The walk will begin at 7 a.m. Friday March 28 at RFK Stadium and will continue to the new Nationals Park along the Capital Riverfront. The first 100 fans who sign up to participate and complete the walk will receive a pair of tickets to the Nationals/Orioles Exhibition game at Nationals Park Saturday March 29 and a 3WT/Nationals “Inaugural Ball” T-shirt.

Upon arrival at the new Nationals Park, 3WT’s Nigel will literally be camping out at the new stadium in an effort to be the first fan in the park on Saturday March 29.  He will arrive following the walk, spend the night, and stay at the stadium until game time at 6 pm Saturday where he will turn over the ceremonial baseball to Mayor Adrian Fenty who will throw out the first pitch.
