Mr. Strasburg Comes to Washington
by Andrew Johnson Filed under: Nationals , NL East WASHINGTON — Five whole hours before the last-place Nationals opened a series with the reeling Milwaukee Brewers , hundreds of fans packed into the stands on the third base line at Nationals Park. No. 1 overall pick Stephen Strasburg arrived in the nation’s capital Friday afternoon four days after inking a record $15.1 million deal with one of baseball’s most downtrodden franchises. “It’s been pretty wild,” Strasburg said of the week-long process that began with down-to-the-wire negotiations and ended with an unofficial coronation in Washington. “It’s a tremendous feeling. I’m excited to get my career started and hopefully I’ll be playing up here with [the Nationals] soon.” Mr. Strasburg Comes to Washington originally appeared on MLB FanHouse on Fri, 21 Aug 2009 19:20:00 EST .
