ROOT, ROOT, ROOT FOR DC-AREA HOME TEAMS
B aseball season is here, and what an exciting
time it is to be a local baseball fan. The
Washington Nationals are the reigning World
Series champions, and their Class A Advanced
affiliate—formerly the Potomac Nationals—will play at a
brand new state-of-the-art stadium in Fredericksburg,
Virginia, as the Fredericksburg Nationals.

If the thought of attending a baseball game with little
ones seems overwhelming (not to mention pricey),
have no fear. Baseball stadiums across the area
offer plenty of kids’ ticket deals and family-friendly
amenities to make enjoying a day at the ballpark easy
for families—and they all allow strollers inside. Here
is a breakdown of what the Nationals and their two
minor-league affiliates—as well as the nearby Baltimore
Orioles—offer for children.
