I wasn't really interested in the Nats during their "lean years" (had not appreaciation for sports until a year ago) but I do remember going to Expos games when I lived in Montreal and being able to sit up very close. They always had really cheap ticket deals (this was in 2001) and my dad brought us every once in a while. I have a ball signed by what seems like half the team. My first baseball memories.
I will admit I haven't gone through the torment that you fans have been through! Tons of dedication on this board. I salute you, weathered Nats fans.
