Giant Racing Teddy Parties on 18th Street
All photos courtesy the Washington Nationals. As I once discovered at a Prince George's County Safeway, virtually no image in the world is more pleasing to the heart than one of a Giant Racing President Mascot in a non-baseball, real-world situation, particularly when that President is earnestly trying to...
