Recommend a Nats game

[Anonymous]

I want to take my son to a Nats game this spring, before it gets insanely hot. What are the best matchups in April and May? I have to confess I haven't paid close attention to professional baseball in several years. TIA!

I recommend looking at the schedule and picking a time/day that suits your schedule best. The Nats are always a good bet nowadays!

Without looking at their schedule to see who's coming to town, teams like Phillies, Cards, Braves and interleague play are always a good draw. Cubbies, Dodgers..too.

Agree that you can't pick a bad game... all the games in April and May are either against good teams (Reds, Braves) that will be a battle or are against weaker teams (Marlins) that could be fun to watch if high-scoring. What will keep your son's interest more? Also depends on who's pitching (and whether the pitcher's having a good day). The great pitching means no homers/other exciting moments for kids.

I'd go any Sunday day game because after the game they let the kids go down on the field and run the bases. You line up outside the stadium in right field (exit by the center feild playground and turn right, follow all the other kids). You enter (in line) by the right field bullpen, walk down the field to first base. Then your kid runs from first base around to home plate and you meet him/her there. The website says you have to be 4, I think, but our kid did it when he was 3 and no one carded him. The issue is just whether he'll run around without you (you cannot go with him, but cute ball girls and boys will). Have fun!
