o Graduation gifts: t-shirt, baseball educational packet, certificate of completion and promotional items
Updated with quotes (via WTOP) from Nats fan and previous participant Carolyn Lantry: "You might pick up some new information about baseball that you didn't know before. You might start to love the game even more," she says. "I think the first time, the most exciting thing was standing on the field, standing in the dugout. Just kind of being at a part of the park that you as a spectator aren't allowed to be," says Lantry.
