"THE STREAK IS OVER. AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy drops George’s record to 15-1. #NATITUDE" - Washington Nationals, Twitter.
In the above video, you can see Thomas Jefferson fall prey to the hands of Chuck Taylor. Abraham Lincoln is then stopped by a chair by Kris Statlander, while Teddy Roosevelt was confronted by Wheeler Yuta around the corner and finished with a chokeslam right through the table.
The Washington Nationals President’s Race is held during the fourth innings of each home game and has been a tradition at Nationals Park since 2006. Four former U.S. President mascots battle it out on the racetrack that takes place around the warning track.
Baseball fans cheered their favorite mascots on, and some suggested that it was better than watching actual baseball games. The Washington Nationals came under fire from a fan, with him suggesting that he'd rather watch the National's President’s Race than see his home team play.
