HANRAHAN GETS THE WIN

Friday, July 10, 2009

Last night Joel Hanrahan picked up the win as the Nationals beat the Astros in the bottom of the 11th inning (in Houston).








Here's the deal. The game was a continuation of a contest that took place on May 5th, only to be suspended to July 9th. It was in Houston instead of Washington because of scheduling, hence the reason we won in the bottom of the inning. In that month long period, Joel Hanrahan, who had pitched in the top of the 11th, got the win because Nyjer Morgan was able to score in the bottom of the inning. So, Hanrahan, who was traded in the deal for Morgan, got the win because of his run. What a weird game.

All four players who have worn number 23 have been catchers.

About NBTN

People say baseball is a game of numbers....not these numbers. NBTN is dedicated to jersey numbers, uniforms, and the aesthetics of the Washington Nationals. It is one of the only things a player can choose, and one of the only elements of baseball that has no effect on the outcome of the game. So, why not write about it? NBTN is a blog and archive that will follow the Nationals by their jersey numbers. A rookie debut? We'll lead off with what number they chose. I think you get the idea. Enjoy! Check out the numbers archive, every Nat in our history and every number they have worn (included those who have switched).
