The Washington Nationals opened camp this morning, and I read a Yahoo news story about their first day. It had the things you’d expect like “it’s nice to have a new home”, how Frank Robinson will still have a hard time as manager, etc, etc, etc.. However, one line from this really stuck out for me. It was this..
The Nationals logo appears throughout the stadium, although the word “Expos” still appears on a couple of signs and the seats remain teal from the facility’s days as the Florida Marlins’ spring home.
They still can’t get by the schizophrenic nature of their existance for the last few years, eh? Nationals logos, Expos logos and equipment bags, and teal seats from the Marlins days of the stadium. Pretty amusing. :)
