My brother and the kids enjoyed it.
The Nationals do something I've never seen. They resell their game used baseballs during the game and the next day. They were selling a Strasburg strikeout ball for $150! Now I'm sure it'd fetch that on ebay, and I don't mind them making a buck, but it seemed blatantly commercial of them to take advantage of something that fans hope to catch as part of the game experience.
I do wonder if I should've bought one for my game souvenir. I chose the unending soda cup instead. For this game I treated my brother and his kids to club seats. I enjoy the game experience from club seats and the food, a hand carved sandwich, was a lot better than Camden Yards.
The view from section 210 was a good one and the game was a great one. I'd lamented getting Tanner Roark over more well known Nationals pitchers, but Roark was brilliant. He set down the first 16 batters he faced on his way to a 3 hit complete-game shutout.
But really there's one main reason to go to Nationals Park and that's the Presidents' race. It was Abe wire-to-wire.
