Getting set for the season some questions from a new fan..

by rwells87 on Feb 9, 2012 11:31 PM EST

So this will be my second year following baseball and last year around this time i made a choice to follow a team, i narrowed the choice down to 2 The Astros (close to where i live and im from texas) and The Nationals (BIG REDSKINS fan, like most DC teams) made a horrid decision and picked the Astros, needless to say the move to the AL, new scumbag owner and possible name change have done everything to drive me away. Also i kept an eye and followed the Nats and i really like the direction they are heading. I cant wait for the year to get going and have been catching up on some games from last season in preparation, big question is this where do you guys get your gear? mlshop.com?? I am looking for hat, tshirt and maybe a jersey to wear on gamedays. Any suggestions are appreciated, also any games you highly recommend from last year to get a good feel for the team?

If you were in town,

I’d suggest going to the team store at the park. Lots of good stuff there. But they DIDN’T have a suitable Zimmermann jersey last year, so I went to the MLB Shop and had one “custom made”. It was pricey, but very well done. I met Jordan while wearing it, and he approved!

Funny Story Rob......

When we acquired Bonifacio, I ordered a Bonifacio jersey for my son (the one that I think you have seen in the wheelchair), because Bonifacio was also his grandfathers name. A week later, the Nats changed Bonifacio’s jersey number, and the following season he was completely gone! My son still wears that jersey with pride though!

Proud wearer of a Nick Johnson jersey

Poor bastard couldn’t stay healthy but one of the best walkers of all time. And that’s cool, Rob, Jordan is my favorite on the team now…

Owner of the first Nationals jersey I saw that I could buy

As well as Jose Guillen and a Chad Cordero Shersheys. I still wear one of those!

ramos' and stairs' walkoffs were pretty in tents

say what you want about stairs’ last season, that was a great moment. in terms of prepping for things to come, i would watch the last philly series on a continuous loop for about 5 days. i got (rather, my wife got for me) my hats from lids in the mall

Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion man
