Schwarby was Schwarby...for me, him being my favorite had less to do with his on-field performance than it did with his overall persona...

Hittin' big dongs didn't hurt any either...

Remember Schwarber leading the Red Sox in clapping for Zimmerman when Zimm was pulled in his final game?

Rick Short. Thanks Elvir as I couldn't remember his name. Long time MiLB player who finally got his shot at history with the Nats. Now he can tell his grandkids that he once was a MLB player.

2009 Nyjer Morgan. He was electric. He was fun. He made the on field product significantly more entertaining.

Oddly enough, 2010 Nyjer Morgan would be my 2nd least favorite short time player. Pretty sure that second year it was a completely different person in the same body - the change in attitude and behavior was so dramatic and not in a good way. Paps get the 'least favorite Nat, ever' award.

What?  You mean you didn't like it when he slammed his glove on the ground while the ball was in play, allowing an inside-the-park-home run against the Orioles?

Watching that live was one of the biggest, 'Wait, what just happened?' moments I've ever had watching a game. At the time, I was not at all happy, but it's just kind of hilarious in hindsight.

'09 or '10, the man definitely had a lot of highlight reel moments...
