The untold story of baseball’s fiercest rivalry
Every summer, thousands of baseball fans flood Nationals Park in DC to witness the fiercest competition in sports. Some say the most thrilling athletic feats take place not on the field, however, but around it.
For nearly two decades, the Racing Presidents – mascots of the Washington Nationals – have electrified fans at every home game with their legendary mid-game footrace. In the middle of the 4th inning, George, Abe, Tom and Teddy sprint from the Center Field Gate to the dugout, pulling off jaw-dropping athletic moves… and occasionally less-than-sportsmanlike antics… in pursuit of glory.
This documentary goes behind the scenes of their high-stakes contest, with exclusive interviews from those closest to the action – including Nationals announcer Jerome Hruska and Agent Brian, a member of the Racing Presidents’ elite Secret Service detail.
Uncover what fuels these towering titans of foam and felt. See how they train, how they clash, and how they cope with the weight of oversized heads and even bigger egos.
Come for the baseball. Stay for the Presidents.
