I apologize again for the lack of updates and promise that after this one last week of peace, we’ll be back at this more regularly.
During our spring training trip, we noticed that the Team Store at Roger Dean Stadium had a ton of great items for all teams, not just the two that call it home. One of those items was a woven game-day purse for Nationals fans.
Last week, we received a link to purchase these bags, as well as other cool woven MLB products from Tessuta. They are made of woven ribbon fabric, durable, small, easy to get through security, and hold all essentials in 3 pockets, with an adjustable strap. It can be worn on the shoulder hands free, “ideal for cheering.”
“I created my Game Day Bag, which you can wear hands free, because I needed a bag I could sling over my shoulder while cheering and carrying drinks and hot dogs to my family. I needed a purse that was practical, fashionable and told everyone who I was rooting for, ” said Andrea Greenspan, creator of TESSUTA and mom of two.
The product is available online and at the Nationals team shop in the stadium for $24.95. Other products (pillows and memory boards) are also available.
Also, I finished Alyssa Milano’s Safe at Home over the weekend. Actually, Steph and I each read it in just one sitting. I highly recommend it for female fans, and guys, there’s a chapter about Bill James in there. Seriously. You might learn something from looking at the game we all love from a female fan’s perspective. Hopefully we’ll be able to do a review here soon. Have a good week! Go Nats!

I have the game bag and love it! The little zippered section is great for ID, money, etc. that you want secured. The middle area is perfect for the phone/Blackberry, gum or whatever. The little open section on the back works for clipping sharpies/pens and holding tickets. Great idea and product. These are available for all teams now too.

Did you get your in Florida Cheryl? I really liked it when we saw it there. I might have to invest in one!

Yes, I got it in Florida and made immediate use of it.
I saw people with the bigger purse versions too, but didn’t want anything that size.

Went to the main store at NATS park and tried to describe this item. They gave me a funny look and said, no, nothing like purses here. Maybe later.

Thanks for posting the link! I ordered one and let my daughter carry it around at the game yesterday, and we got several compliments on it. I think she wants her own now. The only problem was that my wallet was too big to fit into it, so I had to buy a very nice Curly W wallet from the team store. Darn!
