Free Metro Fares for the ride home is a good enough reason for me. 5000 Metro users arriving at The Navy Yard Station for tomorrow night's (Wednesday June 4th) game between Our Washington Nationals and The St. Louis Cardinals will receive a loaded farecard for the return trip home.
This promotion is conjunction with The Discovery Channel new channel called "Planet Green"--programming covering an eco-lifestyle. All fans are encouraged to wear Green and through the ballgame random fans will be chosen to receive gifts--just for wearing GREEN.
Emeril Lagasse will start tomorrow night's ball game by shouting out: "Washington Let's Play Ball!!. The famous Chef has a new show on Planet Green called Emeril Green. So, do you think we can get Emeril & Charlie Together. One saying "BAM!!" for the home run. Charlie with the "Bang Zoom!!"
