WOODBRIDGE, VA -- The Washington Nationals have released the schedule for their 2010 Winter Caravan, when members of the Washington Nationals will tour the Washington, DC, metropolitan area from Jan. 27-30. Shortstop Danny Espinosa, pitchers Ryan Speier and Drew Storen, manager Jim Riggleman and Nationals TV broadcaster Rob Dibble are all scheduled to sign autographs for fans at G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium on Jan. 28 from 6-8 p.m.
"It's always nice to welcome back some of our former players like Danny and Drew who have made it up to the majors," Potomac Nationals Vice President/General Manager Jonathan Griffith said. "It should be an exciting day for our fans to come out and meet some Major League ballplayers here in their own backyard."
The Nationals' fifth Winter Caravan since the ballclub's arrival in Washington will take place over four days and feature meet-and-greets, autograph signings, community appearances and the second annual Hot Stove Luncheon. The 10-stop tour will include the ballclub's first-ever appearance in Prince George's County, with a visit to the Prince George's Sports & Learning Complex in Landover, where the ballclub and the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation will make an announcement regarding plans to partner with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission's Department of Parks and Recreation. Continuing their dedication to military programs, the team has partnered with the USO of Metropolitan Washington to prepare care packages at the Ft. Belvoir military base for servicemen and women stationed overseas. Public appearances include autograph stops at Hard Times Cafe in Arlington, VA, Build-A-Bear Workshop in McLean, VA, the White Flint Mall in Rockville, MD, as well as at The Pfitz.
"The Nationals Winter Caravan is the perfect time for players and fans to get reacquainted before the team departs for Spring Training in Viera, FL," said Nationals Team President Stan Kasten. "Opening Day is just around the corner and we hope Nationals fans are just as excited as we are for what's sure to be an exciting 2010 in NatsTown."
