Hi folks.  I'm a 49 y/o Nats fan from Damascus, Md.  I was at the last Senators game in 1972 (I was 14 y/o and one of the thugs that rushed the field in the ninth inning.  Did you know that the outfield foul lines are actually 2 x 4's recessed into the ground? I found that out that night when I pulled a piece of it up).  I never thought it would be decades before we ever saw another MLB home game.

I use the name Sniper 1 as a tribute to my father who was a sniper in WWII.  It has nothing to do with me, even though I am a veteran myself (Navy 1976-1982).

I am still excited about having a team back in DC even though the '08 version is a tremendous disappointment.  I'm only hoping now to see some kids called up that can make a difference in 2010. We're stuck with some dead weight on the roster until then.

Thank you to whoever approved my membership today, I've been hoping to find a busy BB for Nats fans.
