Every year at Spring Training the Washington Nationals hold Photo Day, the annual parade of players having their moment in front of the cameras from Getty and USA TODAY Sports.
Shortly after it’s done, the photos are uploaded and we comb through them for the best of the best, bringing them to you so you can enjoy them in all their glory and try to guess the names of some lesser-known Nationals. This time around we decided to give out awards in a number of completely made up categories. We start with the best hairdo of the day from West Palm Beach, FL’s FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches where the Nationals and the Astros will each play their first Grapefruit League game of the Spring tonight at 6:30 PM EST.
Max Scherzer will be on the mound in a game that’s being broadcast on MASN, and he receives an award below, dig in and enjoy the best shots from Nationals’ Photo Day.
