Big homeruns to live forever at Nats Park

WASHINGTON – At Nationals Park, big homeruns will live forever.

New for this season, the ballpark will mark notable blasts, including those that have situational significance and monumental distance.

For now, six homeruns have been immortalized.

If the landing spot was in a seat, that seat is painted red to stand out against the sea of blue.

All are marked with a plaque.

Two homeruns have been distinguished for their historic significance.

The first is Ryan Zimmerman’s walkoff homerun the night the ballpark opened in 2008.

The other is Jayson Werth’s walkoff winner in Game 4 of the 2013 National League Division Series.

Four other homeruns have been marked for their did-you-see-that distance.

Two of those belong to Bryce Harper.

Adam LaRoche and Michael Morse hit the other shots.

The homeruns have been marked in time for Saturday’s exhibition with the Yankees.

WATCH: Nats celebrate World Series with parade ahead of Spring Training opener in Florida

The Washington Nationals showed off their trophy from winning the 2019 World Series in front of their local fans in South Florida during a parade on Thursday, February 20. Spring Training kicked off recently, and the first preseason game is Saturday, February 22, against the Houston Astros, the team they defeated in the World Series. Before the parade started, Michael A. Taylor and Sean Doolittle mingled with fans, some of whom were wearing hats supporting the local Miami Marlins. However, the West Palm Beach fans showed their support, as players like Kurt Suzuki, Trea Turner and Howie Kendrick rode in cars and buses through the main streets of Clemantis.
