Nationals Reunion

Last night I fell asleep before posting, while watching a replay of Game 7 of the 2019 World Series. “MASN Dan” (Dan Kolko) hosted a Zoom watch party and got most of the Nationals together for several hours, even the guy who’s now playing (or quarantining) in Japan.

Earlier in the day Ryan & Heather Zimmerman started a fundraiser called “Pros for Heros” to raise money to provide meals (and eventually PPE) for local health care providers and their families. By the time I fell asleep the fund was over $200,000. The Zimmermans had started it off with $100,000, and other professional athletes from the DC sports community had also chipped in generously. 

Seeing the guys together again, laughing and teasing each other, missing baseball, and wanting to get back out there again warmed my heart. Like everyone, they are stuck in this Groundhog Day perpetual existence. But they are also getting and appreciating more time with their families, which is a rarity for them this time of year.

Cue Take Me Out to the Ball Game....
