WASHINGTON -- While snow flurries were falling around Washington on Monday morning, there was a sign at Nationals Park that spring was on its way. The Nationals held their annual Truck Day, where they packed the first 53-foot tractor trailer with equipment for Spring Training.
Victory Van Corporation, the team's official moving company, has a new destination this year. For the first time, the equipment truck will make the 980-mile drive to the West Palm Beach, Fla., the site of the Nats' new Spring Training facility.
And the movers had some assistance to help load the truck from Nationals mascot Screech the Eagle, as well as two members of the Presidents Race -- Abe Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.
