After 525 consecutive losses, the Washington Nationals finally let Teddy win. It's a story of triumph and sabotage. But mostly triumph.
The Presidents Race takes place in the middle of the fourth inning of every Washington Nationals home game. It's a race between mascot versions of George Washington, Abe Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Teddy Roosevelt.

The race has been going on since 2006, and in all that time Teddy Roosevelt has never won.

Over the years a campaign sprung up among Nationals fans to let Teddy win.
The campaign even had a blog that detailed every nuance of each race.
