Pittsburgh's Pierogie Pentathon. TR placed on IR List

The Nationals racing presidents and the racing pierogies of Pittsburgh have a 2-year tradition of traveling to each others ball parks when the teams play each other; but after Mays debacle in which the racing pierogies tricked the presidents and won a race at Nationals Park, fans were left wondering whether the embarrassed presidents would make an appearance for this weekends Nationals/Pirates series at Pittsburghs PNC Park.

On Friday night, the question was answered when the presidents appeared for a 4-team mascot relay race. Abe Lincoln was paired with Teddy Roosevelt and George Washington was paired with Thomas Jefferson, with Teddy and Tom poised to run anchor.

Abe Lincoln finished the opening leg in last place, but on the anchor leg, Teddy put on a burst of speed. Thats when front-running pierogie Oliver Onion turned and ran straight into Teddy, leveling him to the ground.
