I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Baseball is the perfect game.
Despite my rabid Red Sox fandom, I’ve had a blast seeing the Nationals come to town here in DC. My friends and colleagues in the Advertising Unit (Emily and Seth) are also enormous baseball fans (Seth for the Yankees, so our friendship is on moratorium during October; Emily for the Braves).
Despite our various hometown allegiances, we all love the Nats!
So, we were all particularly excited a couple of weeks ago when Washington Nationals pitcher and Norwalk, IA native Joel Hanrahan (that’s a fun name to say out loud - go ahead and try it) gave us a call to help out with the Central US Floods & Tornadoes.
He and some teammates recorded a PSA that’s been running on the Jumbotron in Nats Stadium as well as all over local media stations (we’re still waiting to get permission to show it to you here - patience is a virtue).
Most exciting, though, is that they are hosting an auction of special Nats items to benefit the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
You can bid on experiences such as a “Round of Golf with a Player” and “Lunch with the Bullpen.” Most of the auctions end on July 3, so get on over there!
