Beginning in 2005, The African Queen and I enjoyed Section 320 at RFK Stadium. Our Washington Nationals and the Nats320 Blog came to life for us there. Since 2008-we've sat in Section 218 at Nationals Park, but our blog name has not changed. Our roots are in Nats320-and we will never forget those good times. But, as always, we will attempt to provide fun, information and commentary about Our Washington Nationals. All photos, unless otherwise attributed-COPYRIGHT Nats320--ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Tracking Baseballs While Carrying Footballs
In a new twist to the same old spring training drill of tracking fly balls, Our Washington Nationals new 3rd Base Coach Bo Porter had all his outfielders carrying a football in their glove-free hand while chasing pop ups this morning. According to Outfield Instructor Tony Tarasco, Porter implemented the drill in order to get every player to run full out toward every fly ball. Bo feels by keeping your body tucked while running with the football an athlete will not lose speed due to flailing body parts.
Interesting idea.
