*Sigh* yet another Nats misspelling......
I figure if I don't post this one of you other freaks aka flvegan, madinmaryland, Charlie and Algernon will...:banghead:



Names have been spelled wrong on uniforms. Names have been spelled wrong on bats. So yeah, as an ironic nod to the past, the Nats will naturally stuff a few Rossevelt bobbleheads into their official merchandise emporiums, daring the world to think they're serious. They're not serious, world. They're just messing with you now.

Anyhow, everyone in NatsTown remembers the friendly little hint for how to spell Roosevelt. It's just like the crowd at most D.C. sporting events--twice as many O's as you think there should be.

My source on this one was loyal Post reader Joanne Richcreek, whose eyes were sharpened while working as a newspaper copy editor--"sort of a curse and a blessing," she said.. She had no intentions of buying a $30, extra-large Teddy bobblehead at the store behind section 131 this weekend, but the Rossevelt thing made it irresistible. And, she notes, she purchased this on the day of Ross Detwiler's second start. Get it?

1. It's a shame because such an error would never get noticed in Arlington
Texas. :hide:

2. I was going to post that yesterday, but you were having a down day
so I didn't know if you'd take it as ridicule or as funny.

See, I'm a nice person.
