What an Opening

The Washington Nationals opened up their shiny new ballpark last night and they did it in style. It's not often that a team:

• opens a new stadium
• gets a walk-off home run
  
• gets a walk-off home run with two outs
• gets a walk-off home run from their franchise player

Despite the odds against any of those four situations occurring, that's exactly what happened in last night's game between Atlanta and Washington:

HR - R Zimmerman (1, 9th inning off P Moylan 0 on, 2 Out).

Ryan Zimmerman, the Nationals' franchise player, hit his walk-off home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to secure a win on Opening Night at the new Nationals Park. It doesn't get much better than that for Nationals fans.
