Nationals Presidents Races

Man would that be fun. The Washington Nationals are looking for part-time performers to run in their famous Presidents Races that they do between innings at RFK Stadium. Kind of a takeoff on the Racing Sausages at Miller Park in Milwaukee. If my schedule allowed it, trust me, I'd be there.
