I just noticed the Nationals are wearing Virginia Tech caps in tonight’s game against Atlanta.

UPDATE 8:40 p.m.:

The idea came from a fan named Dave Lanham from Calvert County, Md. He e-mailed team president Stan Kasten in the middle of the afternoon. Kasten thought it was a great idea and ordered 40 hats. The hats arrived in the first inning.
