(One of the highlights of the weekend at Nationals Park? GIF by @dhm.)
The real MVP at Nationals Park over the weekend? Ryan Zimmerman for his walk-off grand slam on Friday night/Saturday morning? Ian Desmond for his game-tying HR in the 9th inning Sunday with 2 outs? Jonny Gomes for his electrifying walk-off HBP on Sunday in the 10th?
None of the above. That honor can only be bestowed upon the ballgirl working the left field line on Sunday. Watch the fun above (animated GIF above via @The700Level) as the ballgirl refuses to give a foul ball to a Phillies fan - fakes him out and (presumably) hands the ball over to a fan of the home team.
And by home team, we do mean the Nationals -- despite the bellyaching about the percentage of Nats fans to Phillies fans over the weekend, and the record crowd at Nationals Park Saturday night, thanks to Phillies fans.
Similar thing happened during the tshirt toss on Friday night. The Nats Pack girl was looking where to throw the tshirt in my section and saw that I was the only fan in Nats gear nearby so she just walked up to me and said "I just had to give it to you."
