A curly W: New-look duds are letter-perfect

A curly W: New-look duds are letter-perfect
The new Nationals jerseys will prominently and proudly feature the beloved "curly W" logo, a change that marks both a new beginning and an authentic bond with the past. First adopted by the Washington Senators in 1963, the curly W is still a big part of baseball's brand in the nation's capital. Whether we're marking curly W's in our scorebooks or showing support for our hometown team with a simple cap, that symbol has come to succinctly represent the essence of Nationals baseball. That...

Balester Grows Mustache for Movember

Balester Grows Mustache for Movember
It should come as no surprise that when Nationals pitcher Collin Balester heard about a mustache-growing movement called Movember, he immediately wanted to get involved. The reliever's previous experiments with mustaches were well documented on his Twitter feed. This time, however, the experiment will be for a cause that is very important to him. "I've decided to donate my face to raising awareness about cancers that affect men," he said in an e-mail. "My commitment is the growth of a...

Wigginton showed 'Heart & Hustle' for O's in 2010

Wigginton showed 'Heart & Hustle' for O's in 2010
The latest Oriole who needs your help in the voting is this year's Heart & Hustle Award nominee, Ty Wigginton. After approaching the 2010 season without a distinct concept of what his role might be, Wigginton proved to be a big part of this year's Orioles team. Wigginton wound up playing 154 of the Birds' 162 games and finished the season with a .248 average at the plate; his 76 RBI led the team, while his 22 homers put him second only to Luke Scott and his 29 doubles tied him with...

More awards for Strasburg, Zimmerman and Ben's Chili Bowl

More awards for Strasburg, Zimmerman and Ben's Chili Bowl
On Friday, the Washington Post Express newspaper published its Best of 2010 list, naming Stephen Strasburg the "best offseason acquisition" of 2010. That category is a bit misleading, since Strasburg was signed in the summer of 2009, but we'll take it, right? Ben's Chili Bowl at Nationals Park was also named "Best Stadium Food." The Best of 2010 awards were decided by two rounds of reader nominations and voting. Also, on Thursday evening, the Power 30 Under 30 organization honored...
