Nationals baseball game

Kenyon and I recently went to a "Nats" game. That is what the locals call their baseball team. It was truly a living-in-the-big-city experience. We rode the DC Metro in to the district. Walked a couple of blocks to the stadium (with the crowds from the Metro). And, experienced sticker shock at the food prices. How could a family possibly afford a night out at the ball field? Yikes!

There were a couple of differences between our previous experiences at the Royals games in KC and a Nats game in DC (besides the metro ride that eliminated a need for parking). First, I was star struck (as usual) that I could see the U.S. Capital building while living my every day life. I wonder if I will ever get used to that? Second, it was obvious by the third inning that our team would emerge victorious. The Nats were playing the Cardinals. The Cardinals never had a chance. We left at the seventh inning stretch due to it being a Thursday night, and Kenyon now working - necessitating a need to rise before the sun in order to get to work on time due to traffic. As we were leaving our team hit (another) home run. Though they are currently making headlines due to leadership instability - the Nats are a winning team and it was fun to be on the winning side. 

My biggest take-away though. I think they need a new marketing team. Why? Because someone with a brain should have realized that their iconic "W" was already taken. Every time I looked at that "W" I had one thought. Can you guess what it is? Walgreens! I now see that "W" every where. Never once do I think baseball. Nope. I always come back to the convenience store/pharmacy. 

Do you agree or disagree?
