Nationals Anthems

On the Nationals Journal post about the Red Sox coming to town for the interleague series, there was a lot of complaining about the mythical “pink hat” that supposed Red Sox bandwagon fans wear. I married into a Red Sox family so I know first-hand that die hard 3rd and 4th generation fans buy and wear pink Sox gear. Come on, we fans are a tiny minority on the planet who all believe that baseball matters a damn. Get along.

Bandwagon Nats Fans

Two ardent young fans of the Nats
Could care less about Austin’s stats
They’re age three and four
And love their ador -
Able pink curly W hats.

They come to the park and eat ribs
And chow down on brownies and Dibs
Which I hold in my sway
‘Til the Nats make a play
They cheer, and then eat like pigs

So Nationals games equal candy
(As long as they do something dandy)
For instilling esteem
Of the hometown team
Boy chocolate sure comes in handy!

Do bribes make them bandwagoneers?
Or pink hats that come down past their ears?
The big Church of Baseball
Has all kinds of faithful
Some just more tender in years
