It has been a couple of months, but I wanted to get the photos from the 2018 Washington Nationals Clinic at the Bullpen on the blog. Last year a similar group of little league players came to run through drills. Additionally, there were some VIPs attending from the team, running presidents George and Teddy! Even though they could almost touch the ceiling down there, they also participated in the drills. Coaches from the Nationals Youth Baseball Academy worked through a series of drills. In case you were not familiar, the Bullpen is a completely decked out facility for baseball. Despite the netting, you still need to keep your head (and your camera) on a swivel as these kids can really swing the bat! Afterwards, the presidents and some of the players went up to the Plaza where you had the opportunity to ride the Bullpen cart!

Tysons Corner Center

Earlier this Fall, I photographed 2017 Washington Nationals Clinic at the Bullpen. In case you did not know, Tysons Corner Center has a beautiful baseball practice facility hidden in its ground floor! Making use of a previous movie theater space, the Bullpen is altogether a unique space in Tysons. On this occasion, the Washington Nationals conducted a clinic for local Little League teams with some coaches from their academy.

The Plaza

Continuing the partnership with the Washington Nationals, the mall made both the Bullpen and the Plaza available to the team. Certainly the Running Presidents grab a lot of attention as they are literally larger than life, and instantly recognizable as team ambassadors. Of course this crowd was glad to interact with them! After the clinic, the group went up to the Plaza for a showing of the evening game against the Mets. It was a full day of baseball action in Tysons!

Tysons, Virginia

Last week I went out to the Plaza at Tysons Corner Center. On Tuesday the MLB All Star Game was broadcast on a large screen. On this occasion the sports talk radio station 106.7 The Fan was there to give away prizes for the Washington Nationals. Danny Rouhier emceed some of the games, and running president George Washington came to say hello!

Prior to this week, there was a concert stage setup right where the large TV screen was installed. Rachel Platten sang for the crowd, and this night she was now singing the National Anthem at the All Star Game! Above all, George Washington was the star of this event. Undeniably being the tallest person in the room helps to garner attention!

Luckily, the weather in Tysons was just as good as San Diego where the game was played!
