Nationals vs. Rockies, Game 1

The Itkan brothers. They don't live in D.C. and used to fly up for every homestand from Florida. I can understand why they aren't attending regularly anymore.  Hopefully the older brother is doing OK.

Thank you. I recall that article but am curious about the missing brother.

As bob said, it was almost a free look since you can't save it for the next game.
