#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Early walk-offs and a K-heavy performance

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Early walk-offs and a K-heavy performance
We don't have a long list of "Nationals Classics" airing on MASN this week, but two of the three games went extra innings and ended in Washington walk-offs, while the third featured a strikeout-hunting hurler who reached a major milestone. Who doesn't like a walk-off, especially when it's the Nationals doing the celebrating? Our two games featuring bonus baseball sent fans home happy from RFK Stadium in the team's formative years. Sandwiched between the two games offering late heroics is...

Nationals seek candidates to run as Racing Presidents

Nationals seek candidates to run as Racing Presidents
It's been said that any youngster here in this land of opportunity can grow up to become president. But only at Nationals Park can someone don one of the faces seen on Mount Rushmore, lace up running shoes and become a Racing President. The Nationals are looking for people with the right combination of show-biz personality, athleticism and political ambition (of a sort) to take on the personae of George, Tom, Abe and Teddy during home games in the coming season. The club's entertainment...

With that in mind, MASN this week brings you a couple of blasts from the past that offered a glimpse of things to come.

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Dominant pitching and coming through in the clutch

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Dominant pitching and coming through in the clutch
Happy Thanksgiving, NatsTown! Today is a day for giving thanks, and at the top of most Nationals fans' lists is the fact that a certain team sporting a curly W and blue uniform tops delivered a World Series championship to D.C. last month. Never gets tired hearing that, does it? I suspect it won't for a long time to come. Whatever's on your Thanksgiving table, you're sure to indulge today. Turkey coma, anyone? My table has traditionally included a roasted bird, stuffing, mashed potatoes,...

Duffy's World Series "word art" features Zimmerman's joyful celebration

Duffy's World Series "word art" features Zimmerman's joyful celebration
As he was searching for a focus for his latest installment in his "The Road to the World Series" collection, Philadelphia artist Dan Duffy saw the image of Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman celebrating after the last out that secured a Game 7 victory over the Astros and a Fall Classic championship and knew he'd found the perfect starting point. Zimmerman, who had seen the highs and lows of a franchise that made him its first draft pick in 2005, stopped on the Minute Maid Park field...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Mountain cycling makes for fun afternoon
Though we all know that losing a star player to free agency is just part of the business of baseball, that doesn't make it any less aggravating for fans. But seeing as how the Nationals just won their first World Series, we at MASN know you won't mind being reminded of the days when your team piled a lot of its hopes on the young shoulders of a guy named Harper. This next batch of "Nationals Classics" includes a couple of red-letter days for the 2012 Rookie of the Year from back when he was...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Let's see that again
Remember when you were a little kid and your mom or dad would toss you into the air? It felt so wonderful that you'd immediately say "Do it again!" Over and over until your poor parents wondered why they ever started this in the first place. Well, we at MASN are experiencing that feeling again, having just witnessed the Nationals pull off the most incredible in-season turnaround and postseason run in the history of the big leagues.

Children's National Medical Center visit by umpires was a good call

Children's National Medical Center visit by umpires was a good call
The men in blue made a few new friends on Tuesday, before donning their usual garb and taking the field at Nationals Park for a game between the Rockies and Nationals. The four-man crew assigned to the four-game series - Jerry Meals, Ron Kulpa, Gabe Morales and John Libka - took time out of their schedules to visit patients at Children's Nationals Medical Center and their families as part of the UMPS CARE Charities BLUE for Kids program. Instead of balls and strikes, safe or out, fair or foul,...

#TBT to "Nationals Classics": Sweet moments ahead
OK, Nationals fans, a friendly reminder from your friends at MASN: We're all psyched that pitchers and catchers report to West Palm Beach in six days, and that the Nats' first spring training game - which you can watch on MASN - takes place in two weeks and change, on Feb. 23.

This week's offerings may be few, but they're fun. You'll see two games in which the Nats beat the Braves in...
