I know it's still early, but who's going to Nationals this year?

This will be my first experience with Nationals and I'm EXTREMELY excited about it! Who else is going and does anyone want to meet up for an Orioles game and/or dinner?

  • I going for the first time. No O's game but a few image would be cool.
    Trying to climb the 1954-55 Topps Hockey ladder for the second time.

  • Morning,
    I am going, flying in on Thurs. Staying at the Convention Ctr Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel Thurs/Fri/Sat nights. I am bringing my 13 year old Son for our first Major trip together in years. We are then going to spend the week in DC from Sun through Sat. Fly out following Sun.
    Would love to get together for some Beers. Already have plans to meet up with two of my best customers on the Non Sports side. And Mark (Hoping) is flying in with his wife from England for the show. I am sure as time goes by more will be heard from.
    So we need to start getting some plans together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Booked my hotel reservation yesterday as a matter of fact. Will be staying at the brand new Hilton, next to the ballpark. I am not sure where you came up with NO o's games, but the O's are in town that week. Will be playing Anaheim on Wed and Thrusday and then host the Whitesox on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

    Thursday's O's game is probably the one I will attempt to go to. I'm a sucker for stadium giveaways and it's Nick Marcacus mini-bobblehead day. image

    I was definitely planning on it.
  • jeffcbayjeffcbay Posts: 8,951 ✭✭✭✭
    I'll be there for sure! I already booked my room at my Dad's house! I'm bringing my wife and my dog (neither to the show). image
  • DboneesqDboneesq Posts: 18,219 ✭✭
    I'm hoping that I can manage to get there. Have only been to one and that was 20+ years ago in Atlantic City (the first one). An O's game and MANY image would be a GREAT idea!
    STAY HEALTHY!

    I"m booked. Nationals game the weekend before, O's during the week, Phils on the weekend.
    Don't forget Babe Ruth's house/museum is 4-5 short blocks from the show. It's definitely worth an hour there.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

    Lee said get him a list of everyone that's coming and he'll make paper machey masks of everyone's avatars so we can wear them as we sit around and eat and complain about eBay sellers and their shipping prices.

    Yeah we have beer, lots of it and all different kinds. Our wings are the best too. If everybody could take turns wiping the sweat from Nick's brow while he eats the hot wings that would be great.

    Actually, that's not such a bad idea.

    If someone could make 3/4" buttons with avatars - it would interesting to see how many pick out the people in a crowd.

    That's a pretty good idea. I'll see what I can find. I was pretty close to my art teacher back in High-School and used to make custom buttons for art class. I can see what supplies would cost me.

    Wow... my cousin works for a company that does work with the Orioles organization, and he just got us (8) SUITE tickets for the Saturday August 7th O's game!! We're filling those tickets with family members, but I just had to share my excitement! For me, sharing an Orioles Suite with seven close family members, means more to me than meeting Cal Ripken for the first time in my life, which I will be doing that morning. That weekend is going to be so insane for me... I'm beside myself right now. image
