'Nationals at 10' Exhibition Now Open at Newseum

Exhibit will bring back memories of some of the Nats' most unforgettable moments when it opens at 555 Pennsylvania Avenue NW.

An exhibition celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Nationals baseball team opened Friday at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.

“Nationals at 10” will bring back memories of some of the Nats’ most unforgettable moments when it opens at the Newseum, located at 555 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W.

“Nationals at 10” will feature artifacts including the bat and ball from Ryan Zimmerman’s walk-off home run in the inaugural game at Nationals Park in 2008, the pitching rubber and rosin bag used by Stephen Strasburg during his record-breaking 14-strikeout major league debut in 2010, the jersey worn by 19-year-old Bryce Harper in 2012 in his first major league game and the home plate used during Jordan Zimmermann’s no-hitter in the last game of the 2014 regular season.

Opening weekend
Visit the Newseum on Saturday, Aug. 1 and Sunday, Aug. 2 to celebrate the opening of “Nationals at 10: Baseball Makes News.” Adult and senior Newseum tickets will be just $10 all weekend.
