At Nats Park, a tradition continues and a ballpark becomes a ‘safe space’ The Nationals’ Night Out, the MLB team’s annual Pride night, featured a pre-game drag show and a first pitch from a ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ winner.

“It feels right, it feels like it’s needed and like a good time to do it,” D.C.-based drag queen Mari Con Carne said of the Nationals’ Pride night.

I had a fun morning covering behind the scenes of media day!

Great reads from last night!

And hey, you may just find some photos from me in these!

Love being back at the pitch!

They looked amazing!

I went out of town for a few days and dared to sleep once I got home…not the worst alarm clock, but I couldn’t find the snooze button!

Who knew that watching all that Top Chef would pay off in getting my angles for this assignment?!? 🤷🏻‍♀️🥪

Being back in MN this week has been such a nostalgic trip. HS hockey on the front page of the StarTrib yesterday. People talking about getting the annual tourney snowstorm out of the way early.

I’ve definitely looked into driving it, but my timeline is too tight on the return 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have a flight booked later this month and 😬
