This past Wednesday before the Nationals wrapped up their two-game sweep of the Yankees, MASN's very own F.P. Santangelo took over the @masnNationals Twitter account to chat with Nats Nation. And when we say "took over," we mean took over.
He made the account completely his. He changed the avatar, the name and even the description, adding a play off his in-game catch phrase. F.P. literally became the face of Nationals on MASN.
Fans were able to tweet their Nationals questions and thoughts to...
