"We wanted something that would be uniquely Washington, and this is one of the most prominent features our city has"
(Stan Kasten, via Washington Post, 3/14/2007)
Build it and they will come?
Nationals unveil a whole slew of enhancements to new stadium, including a grove of Cherry Trees, a high-def scoreboard, and vibrating seats. Kasten says stadium will open on time. And don't worry about traffic and parking: there's plenty of room for cars in the Cherry Grove.
The possibilities for naming rights are endless. How about "The Budweiser Cherry Grove" or "The Cherry Grove, Sponsored by Home Depot"?
Meanwhile:
- Stiff competition for the rotation continues. This much we know: Hill is #2?
- Your starting center fielder.
- Peter Schmuck seems skeptical about MASN.

Will the George Washington mascot go chop down one of the trees?
