WGN loves Nats Park

I’m currently in Ohio, so I’m forced to watch the game on WGN with the Cubs announcers. They are loving the Nationals stadium, atmosphere, and the overall baseball experience in Washington D.C.

Things they have commented on though only 3 innings:

-The president’s race
-The Mega HD Scoreboard
-Screech
-The lovely view
-The high press box behind home plate “What are the odds anyone will ever get a foul ball up here”
-The batting cage in the club house
-The Oval Office locker room

This makes me happy, not because some arbitrary announcers like our park but because of what WGN and the Cubs stand for. The Yankees and the Red Sox may have the best baseball tradition, but the Cubs are renowned for their great baseball atmosphere. If the two guys who broadcast games from the box in Wrigley are impressed with our new home…that’s a good sign.

Here’s to a great new start for baseball in D.C.
