During Saturday's Nationals home game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, fan Sorcha Lewis celebrated her 21st birthday with a ceremonial first sip of beer. Funny enough, Washington played its first game 21 years ago on Saturday.
Lewis and the Nats sharing a day-and-date birthday is pretty awesome. Now, both the fan and the franchise are old enough to share a beer together. Talk about a perfect day at the ballpark... well, almost perfect... the Nationals lost.
Darn... well... we hope the beer was good, at least!

To celebrate the team’s 21st birthday, the #Nationals searched their database for fans who also turn 21 today. They found six.
One responded, and will participate in the pregame ceremonial “First Sip” presented by Budweiser. 🍻 pic.twitter.com/93tgqcBWZp
That's baseball for you!
