NatsJack stayed positive!

Sadly, we lost a great one when Jack Tavenner passed away recently at the age of 77. Known to his baseball friends as NatsJack, he was a Washington Senators’ fan from the time he grew up in Northern Virginia. He played baseball through high school at Falls Church as a catcher at the same time as the Senators relocated to Texas. Like many of us, he had no D.C. baseball until the Expos relocated to Washington in 2005. At that time, NatsJack was living and working in Orlando, Florida — but he was instantly a Nats fan … again. Strategically, his home was less than a 45-minute drive to the team’s first Spring Training home in Viera.

A Century of Change: From Bleachers to Ballparks

Posted on February 2, 2025 by Grant Cole

Most people forget that six years ago, there were renderings done for the remainder of the buildout of Nationals Park that was never completed for the additional 35,000 square feet of retail, services, entertainment or arts uses on the stadium premises. The concepts would have completed the original 46,000 square feet of space in the original contract. Now, the D.C. Government would like the Nationals to sign a lease extension. An architectural firm has prepared new concept renderings that go far beyond that 35,000 square feet. A complete facelift on the outer perimeter of Nationals Park.

Modern baseball stadiums are far different from the original concepts. The crack of the bat against the ball—it’s one of the most exhilarating sounds in sports. But what about the experience of attending a Major League Baseball game? A century ago, a trip to the ballpark was a vastly different affair than it is today.

Nats’ Hot Stove event recap

Posted on January 25, 2025 by Andrew Lang

Today was the annual Hot Stove event at Nationals Park for season ticket holders. This was different from the second we arrived. Gates were not supposed to open until 1:30 pm, and they opened up gates at 1:10 pm since people arrived early — and the weather was cold. We were expecting snacks (as advertised) and were pleasantly surprised that they were serving lunch — and not just any lunch — this was an assortment of gourmet hotdogs wrapped in bacon, barbecue brisket sliders, and Asian chicken dumplings. Each food item was from new vendors that we will see at Nationals Park in 2025.

The Washington Nationals surprised baseball today when they inked a two-year deal for Japanese left-hander Shinnosuke Ogasawara. This is the first time in team history that the Nats signed a player directly from Asia. The team has had Asian born players on their roster before and most notably with Chien-Ming Wang from Taiwan. Both Tomo Ohka of Japan, and Sun-Woo Kim from South Korea came to the Nats via their relocation as the Montreal Expos.
