Tysons Corner Center

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

Last month, the 2018 Washington Nationals came to Tysons Corner Center to get the crowd amped up for the season. As can be seen in the photos, Teddy, the Racing President, brought attention to the team and their giveaway quiz. When participants would answer some questions about the team, they had a chance to win tickets for the new season!

As can be seen in the photos, Teddy was a popular visitor to the mall! While walking through all the restaurants, across the Plaza, and through the mall, there were many requests for selfies. Since Teddy is very tall, he carefully navigated his way in and out of the restaurants with the help of the team. During the visit, many people won tickets to a future game at Nationals stadium by answering some trivia about the team. Overall, everyone is very positive about the chances for a winning season for the team!

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!
