Nats at 10″ to Debut on July 31

In partnership with the Washington Nationals, the DC-based Newseum will open an exhibit on July 31 called “Nats at 10: Baseball Makes News,” that will highlight 10 memorable media moments from the Nationals’ first decade in D.C. The exhibit will also explore how the press covers the team’s newsworthy events in an increasingly digital and social world. Some of the artifacts will include the bat and ball from Ryan Zimmerman’s walk-off home run in the inaugural game at Nationals Park in 2008, the pitching rubber and rosin bag used by Stephen Strasburg during his record-breaking 14-strikeout major league debut in 2010, the jersey worn by 19-year-old Bryce Harper in 2012 in his first major league game and the home plate used during Jordan Zimmermann’s no-hitter in the last game of the 2014 regular season, reports Potomac News Wire.
