In a classic Nats move, at Wednesday night's game against the Houston Astros, San Francisco Giants outfielder Eugenio Velez played 2 innings in a misspelled jersey. While the Dominican-born Velez did acknowledge he was unaware that the 'San Francicso' across his chest contained transposed consonants, it's most likely safe to assume someone with a better handle on the English language was the first to catch the error.
Whether or not this brazen attempt to catch the eyes of Nats majority owner Ted Lerner will result in a forthcoming trade offer is yet to be seen, but I know at least one Washington fan who always eagerly awaits Misspelled Jersey Day at Nats Park. Will it be 'Natinals' again? Or maybe 'Nationas'? How about 'Natonals'? There's a whole plethora of awsome optins.
For my money, I'm hoping the Nats take the unprecedented move of wearing an away jersey proclaiming 'Washiton'. Not only does this proposed jersey have a curse word right square in the middle, but I think there's real potential for this to become a new Nats cheer. As in, don't just get your red on Nats fans, "Wash It On! Wash It On!"
