The nats just announced that their fourth President to run a race during their 4th inning festivities will be none other than William Howard Taft. so what you say...consider this.
Taft WAS ROTUND, tipping the scales at over 300 lbs...AND...he was from Cincinnati.
If The Nats think they are gonna get away with calling the Reds fat...well...they've got another thing coming!

"Sometimes, it's not the sexiest moves that put you over the top," Krivsky said. "It's a series of transactions that help you get there."
Seems to be mispointed anger/jealousy over not getting the 2015 All Star game.
Rizzo's response? "We deserve the damn All-Star game, I'll tell you that," he told the fans, who broke out in applause.

Charles Taft who was Williams brother owned the Cubs for three years.
The Nats are tempting fate if you ask me.
Grant was from not far away. The Reds ought to take him with them when they visit DC. He'd whip 'em all.

They could bring WH Harrison, except he'd have to die before the race starts. Or they could bring Harding and he could have his friends rig the race.
Next Reds manager, second shooter. --Confirmed on Redszone.

Came for a Two Man Gentlemen Band reference, was not disappointed.
If you ever get a chance to see the TMGB* live, do it. They've got some great patter and talent.
*Not to be confused with They Might Be Giants or TMBG.

It's not just that but they are trying to catch up to us in terms of mascots. They have closed the mascot gap.
Surely you mean the mascot Gapper?
