June 22, 2014, Nationals Park (DC). Nationals vs Braves, Baseball Cap give-a-way and Signature Sunday.

On June 22, 2014, I attended the Nationals vs Braves game at Nationals Park.  Today, being a Sunday, would be a Signature Sunday.  The first 20,000 fans would also receive a baseball cap sponsored by MASN.

I got to the gates early like normal on Sunday to get a signature voucher (I arrived at 10:00 AM and was about the third person in line).  On Sunday's the Nationals Park only opens 3 gates at fist, the Center Gate, and the two season pass holder lines with the red carpet (So if you plan to get there early make sure you get in the right line or you may not get a signature voucher).  From talking with fellow Nationals fans who I've waited in line at several times with Signature Sundays there appears to be about 75 vouchers for each player given out (2 players sign each Sunday).

This Sunday would be a great Signature Sunday with Tyler Clippard signing and Gio Gonzalez. I was able to get Gio Gonzalez's autograph.  I was glad I got a good signature since I wasn't able to get a Major League Baseball at my local sporting goods store and bought one in the stadium for $32...yes $32 (way over priced, they should cost $18).

After getting my autograph I went to thus far my favorite hot dog stand in Nationals Park, Box Fritas and got their BLT dog again.  The hot dog is amazing, although I really do need to try their other hot dogs which sound just as good.

The game for the Nationals also started out awesome.  The Nationals scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 1st.  The Nationals scored another run in the bottom of the 5th.  Tanner Roark pitched a great game.  He pitched 5 1/3 inning giving up only 1 run in the 6th.  The Nationals went on to beat the Braves 4-1.
