Ryan Zimmerman to Buy Beers for Nats Fans Ahead of Jersey Retirement

Drinks are on Ryan Zimmerman as he celebrates his jersey retirement at Nationals Park on Saturday.

The 37-year-old retired infielder will reportedly treat Nationals fans to a beer at The Salt Line—a Navy Yard restaurant, in which Zimmerman is an investor, right across the street from the ballpark—before and after Washington’s game against the Phillies on Saturday afternoon, according to Barry Svrluga of The Washington Post.

The generous act from Zimmerman comes on the same day that the Nationals plan to officially retire his No. 11 jersey. It will be the first number that the franchise has retired since moving to the nation’s capital in 2005.
