Zimmerman Walks Off With Win in Nationals Park Debut

I was there and I have to say it was probably the coolest sports moment that I've ever expirenced in person.
My dad and I moved down to the lower level just before the 8th inning and grabbed some seats right in front of the most annoying braves fan anyone could encounter. When they tied up the score in the 9th, by stealing home no less, this guy nearly lost it. He was acting as if they won the freaking World Series or something. He also kept saying how we'd have to live with the fact that Chipper Jones hit the first dinger in the park's history; which is annoying, but a home run in a losing effort doesn't really mean all that much. When Zimm crushed that ball right to the same spot that Chipper hit his we all lost it. I was yelling so much I think I tasted blood!

All in all it was a great day (except for the frostbite). My buddy has a website dedicated to "greazy" food and I told him I'd write up a blog entry about the new digs, so I'll post a link when I get that done. You can all laugh at me stuffing my face with a Ben's Chili Bowl Original Half Smoke Chili Dog.

That was so cool. Face of the franchise hits a walk off in the very first game. I'm more of an O's fan than a Nats fan, but I was still jumping around my basement like an idiot.
