If we had any reasons to go to a nats game (aside from watching them lose), we had hotdogs, beer, the presidents race, the t shirt cannon guy, and the fireworks.
Well we still have those...sans pyrotechnics.
Yesterday, DC Fire chief Dennis Rubin attended the Nats game (a game in which they lost...no surprise). During the National Anthem ("...bombs bursting in air...") firewokrs are traditionally shot from atop Nationals Park. Rubin has called this to a halt, after having a miniscule bit of debri from the firework hit him.
If you've attended the game, you've probably witnessed the small bits of cardboard that come tumbling back down to Earth. Rubin was not amused, nor was he pleased. He immediately put a ban on fireworks at Nationals Park.
Thanks for giving us one less thing to look forward to, ya whiny bastard!
