That’s not Nats Park on Nationals calendar

By WTOP Staff

WASHINGTON — The joke is on the Nats. The team’s 2016 calendar doesn’t feature Nationals Park. It’s Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox.

The calendar features the 2015 home opener for the Red Sox. Yes, the team was playing the Nats that day. It turns out the Nationals actually didn’t have anything to do with putting the calendar together. But Major League Baseball did issue a statement. “Our licensee used an incorrect photo in its 2016 Nationals calendar, a product that the Nationals were not involved in producing,” Major League Baseball said in a statement to The Boston Globe. “We are working quickly to rectify the situation including recalling the calendars from retail.” The error was first pointed out by NPR Digital News Editor Susan Vavrick.

The Washington Nationals showed off their trophy from winning the 2019 World Series in front of their local fans in South Florida during a parade on Thursday, February 20. Spring Training kicked off recently, and the first preseason game is Saturday, February 22, against the Houston Astros, the team they defeated in the World Series. Before the parade started, Michael A. Taylor and Sean Doolittle mingled with fans, some of whom were wearing hats supporting the local Miami Marlins. However, the West Palm Beach fans showed their support, as players like Kurt Suzuki, Trea Turner and Howie Kendrick rode in cars and buses through the main streets of Clemantis.
