The Future Is Now at Nationals Park

Last year the Nationals made headlines across baseball when they finished with the best record in the game but were unfortunately ousted early in the playoffs. The core parts on the team return this year with Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper leading the way against the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Mets and many more teams that are looking to challenge what may be the most dangerous lineup and pitching rotation of any team in years. Get your tickets to see the Nationals and show off your Natitude at the R&W. Tickets for Nats games can be purchased at http://www.recgov.org/nihcart . Tickets for Nats home games are located in Section 219, Row D and are $95 per pair. You must be an R&W member, $9 fee, to purchase tickets and can do that online as well http://www.recgov.org/r&w/member.html .
