No excuses. We’ve been slacking off a little this week, trying to catch up on our interviews with women in the baseball world and live our lives. We’ll try to do better this week. By the way, Happy Birthday Stephanie!
There’s lots of good stuff in store this week - a home series with the Mets followed by a series with the Rockies. We’ll see Johan Santana on Tuesday and probably ex-Nat Livan Hernandez before the weekend’s over. Tuesday is T-Shirt Tuesday, featuring the “Run, Teddy, Run!” slogan. Thursday is Ladies’ Night - tickets are available here. Friday is Miller Lite Party Night - including fireworks after the game. Of course, Friday is also the deadline for signing draft picks. As of now, three of the top five — Aaron Crow (RHP), Daniel Espinosa (SS) and Graham Hicks (LHP) – are still unsigned.
On Wednesday, Saul Rivera and Wil Nieves will be talking to kids about healthy lifestyles and the importance of avoiding performance enhancing drugs at an event at Nationals Park. PLAY, which stands for Promoting a Lifetime of Activity for Youth, is a public awareness campaign of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society (PBATS), in conjunction with the Taylor Hooton Foundation (www.TaylorHooton.org) and the Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation (www.RipkenFoundation.org). The PLAY campaign promotes healthy living and decision making among children in America. Each participant will receive a PLAY “Pledge Card” to sign along with the Nationals player(s) promising to remain active, make healthy decisions and avoid performance enhancing drugs.
Saturday is the 4th Annual “Save a Life Saturday.” On Saturday, appointments to give blood at Nationals Park are available from 8 am to 2 pm. Participants will receive 2 free tickets to a September Nats home game and a visit by Nationals players. Call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE to schedule your appointment. After Saturday’s game, fans can stay at the park to watch “A League of Their Own.”
