"While the Washington Nationals prepare for Thursday night's series finale against the New York Mets, Manny Acta's office at Nationals Park will have a visitor. Pope Benedict XVI will use Acta's office to dress and prepare for the morning Mass, which some 46,000 people are expected to attend."-TheWashington PostAt this point, having one of the most holy figures in the world(depending on your religion) can only help the Nats as they need something to turn this season around...even if it is a papal blessing...I wonder if Benedict will be as inspired as the Nats were by the Joe Dimaggio quotes in the dugout. "Why do I preach as best I can? Because there may be a catholic out there watching me for the first time."
"How many times can you put together catching the president first, and then having the pope use your office? Not many people can say that," Acta said.
