It has been five days since we launched our #masnFirstPitch contest, which will give one lucky fan the opportunity to throw out the first pitch at the Nationals game on April 5. Have you tweeted your submission yet? If you haven't, don't worry. You still have eight more days to send a tweet to our @masnNationals account using #masnFirstPitch and tell us why you should throw out the first pitch. We've compiled some of our favorite tweets below:
