Washington Natinals
The new DC baseball team got new uniforms today ...... here's the story, from SI

Company apologizes for 'Natinals' gaffe

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Majestic Athletic spelled things out quite clearly Tuesday: It was the uniform company's fault that Washington Nationals Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman wore jerseys reading "Natinals" during a game last week.

Dunn and Zimmerman donned the shirts that were missing an "O" for the first three innings of Washington's 3-2 loss to the Florida Marlins on Friday night. They eventually changed into jerseys with the team nickname spelled correctly.

"All of us at Majestic Athletic want to apologize to both the Washington Nationals and Major League Baseball for accidentally omitting the 'O' in two Nationals jerseys," Majestic Athletic president Jim Pisani said in a statement distributed at Nationals Park on Tuesday.

"We take 100 percent responsibility for this event and we regret any embarrassment for the Nationals organization, players and fans," the statement continued.

14. Hey. That's not funny. Barry never "knowingly" used steroids.
(Even though he was getting it from a "known" and convicted steroid dealer)

15. I hope they are better than the Washington Senators were!!
I heard about them when I was a kid:

"First in the hearts of their countrymen, and last in the American League".

I'm no sports fan, but this is funny!!! :rofl:
