HELP WANTED: Nationals seek would-be ‘Racing Presidents’

Winter has hit that “OK-I’m-done-with-this” phase for many of us, which means that we’re just weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training. (That is, if the current labor dispute gets sorted.)
And if you’re a Nationals fan who’s looking to switch jobs, be advised that now is the time to apply for what might be a dream job: portraying one of The Racing Presidents.
Yep, the Nats are again looking for … um … candidates who want to put on a giant cartoonish likeness of either Abe, Teddy, George or Thomas — and race from center field to first base during the fourth inning.
As one of the four acting presidents, your duties will also include visiting with fans before the game, posing for photos with fans and taking part in the holiest of traditions, the Seventh Inning Stretch.
