Voting now open for NATS20 fan favorite moments

Voting is now open for NATS20 Fan Favorite Moments, part of the Washington Nationals season-long 20^th Anniversary celebration.

A panel of former players, broadcasters and longtime employees submitted their favorite memories from the first two decades of Nationals baseball, but fans will have the final say on which moments will be prominently featured throughout Nationals Park this season.

The initial list, curated by panelists like Mr. National, Ryan Zimmerman; broadcasters Bob Carpenter, Kevin Frandsen, Dave Jageler, Dan Kolko and Charlie Slowes; public address announcer Jerome Hruska; and organist Matthew Van Hoose, includes game-changing moments like Howie Kendrick’s foul-pole home run; franchise firsts like Jordan Zimmermann’s no-hitter; and even Teddy’s first win in the Presidents Race.

The top 20 moments, as chosen by the fans, will be announced in February, and images representing the selections will be prominently displayed throughout the ballpark, including around the concourse and hanging from the outfield garages. Plus, three of the top moments will be featured as part of the Mystery Bobblehead giveaway on Saturday, May 24, where 20,000 fans in attendance will receive one of the three collectibles.

Voting is open now through Thursday, Jan. 30, at nats.com/NATS20.

The team’s 20^th Anniversary festivities begin with the 2025 Nationals Homecoming Gala, which celebrates the power of baseball’s impact in the community. The team’s premier off-the-field event opens with a star-studded red carpet and fan fest at The Wharf before moving inside to The Anthem, where the 2025 Power of Baseball Award will be presented to former player Ian Desmond, the first Player Ambassador to the Youth Baseball Academy.

The 2025 Nationals season opens on Thursday, March 27, at 4:05 p.m. against the Philadelphia Phillies. Throughout the regular season, the Club will recognize the milestone with special 20^th Anniversary patches worn on the team’s home and away caps. In celebration of the Club’s first 20 years in D.C., and in recognition of the next generation, the season will also feature NATS20 giveaways, appearances from former players, NATS20 Tuesdays and more.
