Ben and I went to the Washington Nationals baseball game yesterday at 1 pm in National Park (about 1 hour away from Baltimore). We sat in Section 209 and ate Five Guys burgers, chili cheese fries, gelato, drank Dogfish Head beer (I had woodchuck apple cider
. Ben made an extensive list of food choices at the ballpark, which I think is useful for future visits and others who attend baseball games at this relatively new (1 year old) park. We parked for free at RFK stadium (where the Washington Redskins play) and took the free shuttlebus (10 min ride) to the ballpark near Navy Yard metro station. The game was very exciting. The nationals were down 0-3 against the Braves. Then Adam Dunn hit his 300th home run and the Nats scored 4 more points during a rally in the 8th inning. They won and people went home happy
