I thought it would be fun to do a daily sporting fail. Today's fail goes out to the Washington Nationals, who failed to ascertain the correct spelling of Roosevelt for their Teddy Roosevelt bobblehead dolls which are sold during games at Nationals Park. The Nationals sell bobbleheads of the four presidents whose busts are sculpted on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. The main event of every Nationals game is when four men (or women) dress up in presidents costumes and race each other. Mr. Roosevelt is the most beloved of the four racers because of his penchant for losing every race in a new way. Nationals fans love failures (that's why there are some people who still attend games of the 13 win outfit) and so anything Teddy flies off the racks. One such lover of our 26th president, Joanne Richcreek, submitted the above photo to the Washington Post. Dan Steinberg, author of the DC Sports Blog for the Post commented, "So maybe there was some sort of sly winking going on, like if the Nats started selling Bratworst, Done jerseys and New Error hats."
