The Washington Nationals will host their inaugural book drive on Saturday, April 24 when the team faces the Los Angeles Dodgers at 1:05pm. Fans may donate new elementary level books at the Center Field Gate or at the community Desk, located behind Section 107, from gate opening through the bottom of the fourth inning.
All books collected will be donated to Everybody Wins! DC, a non-profit organization which promotes children’s literacy by pairing students with reading mentors. Nationals Front Office Employees participate in this program during their lunch hour with students at Amidon-Bowen Elementary School in support of the teams’ literacy efforts.

• The physics of pitching
• How to calculate batting averages, ERA’s, WHIP and fielding percentages
• What makes Nationals Park one of the greenest ballparks in America
