The major-league Washington Nationals play baseball at this spiffy stadium beside the Anacostia River. Don't miss the mid-fourth-inning ‘Presidents' Race’ – an odd foot race between giant-headed caricatures of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt. Hip bars and eateries and playful green spaces surround the ballpark, and more keep coming as the area gentrifies.
Catch a game if you can. The Nats act as a strong social glue among DC’s transients and natives. And tickets can be cheap (look on StubHub).
