A season ticket holder gives us the inside scoop on Nationals Park

Mark W. is a season ticket holder at Nationals Park. He’s got some great seats just above 3rd base that I have yet to take advantage of (living 400 miles away). We’ve gone together to take the behind the scenes ballpark tour,which is definitely worth the price of admission by the way. However,I [...]
