i'm not a baseball fan. in fact, i have never been to a game, even if i've been handed tickets to corporate booth seats. but it is hard to not feel a bit cheerful over the fact that baseball is back in the dc metro area for the first time in 34 years. earlier tonight washington nationals won their first ever home game and there is a real buzz around town.

i doubt i'll ever become a huge baseball fan, but i'm glad the city is getting some much needed bump.
