It's probably a safe bet to say that for most Nationals fans, last night's Strasmas II: The Strasrrection was riveting, with each and every one of Strasburg's 56 pitches (chronicled here, for reference) providing edge-of-your-seat drama. And then there was the fan seen in the video above, sleeping through at least the 56th and final pitch of Strasburg's return.

Not sleeping, passed out.

He looks like he is "nodding out" on heroin...either that or to many early inning Ben's Chili dogs

I took the video and can give you my first hand account. He was an energetic and loud supporter of our young Mr. Strasburg early in the game, but got quiet after the 3rd inning or so. Then I noticed he was taking a snooze. Shortly after I took this video Ryan Zimmerman came up in the bottom of the inning and hit a first pitch foul ball that I ended up catching. I almost got taken out by it because everyone in the section was staring at and taking pictures of the "sleeping" gentleman. Strasmas II was just like any good family Christmas. Everyone has a great time to start, some people get gifts (my foul ball), and someone always ends up passed out way too early.

That's an expensive seat to be taking a nap in too.
