First Baseball Game at Nationals Park
George Washington University vs. St. Joseph's University
Part One
March 22, 2008
2,000 fans braved a chilly March day to get their first peek at not-quite-completed Nationals Park, eight days before Opening Night. Please forgive the dust particle on my lens in a bunch of the shots.
