D.C.’s Team Officially Renamed the Nationals<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
It is official, they are the Nationals<\/b><\/a> (new and improved Web site) and have a logo and the two hat designs I posted earlier today. Everyone was wearing the red cap (see video<\/b><\/a> from The Post<\/em>) on the stage, so I have to wonder if the MLB Shop is incorrect in calling the blue model (I like it!) the home cap. Now, the internal debate, do I go and buy a cap with the deal not sealed? Also, there was a knucklehead from the D.C. Statehood Green Party who went up on stage uninvited and began speaking in opposition to baseball. Charlie Brotman and Harold Brazil (D, At-large) grabbed him and whisked him off stage<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Chicago sportswriter thinks that we could see success sooner than later. We shall see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nats hats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The MLB Shop posted the caps just before the press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTA BENE:<\/strong> The MLB shop originally had the caps reversed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
