Science Fair and Foul

Beatrix was one of the winners of a science fair competition sponsored by DCPS and the Washington Nationals baseball team - the team stolen from Montreal. Her prize was 3 tickets to last night's game between the Nats and the Seattle Mariners. Two proud grandparents accompanied her.

Her science board was in the main concourse of the stadium and before the game she explained her project to the arriving fans. She did a fantastic job and had a steady stream of interested people lending their ears. Her grandfather tried to catch a baseball and her grandmother took pictures.

Just before game time the heavens opened. All the winners were taken out onto the field to be acknowledged. Somewhere in this group of wet bodies is Beatrix.

We left after the 4th inning (and a hot dog). The Mariners (our team) were being trounced and we were wet and cold. When you next see Beatrix, ask her to explain her project on the importance of young ball players rotating between positions to cut down on injuries. She has that topic at her finger tips.
