DMV: Strasburg Ushers in New Media Era
By Jamie Mottram | June 10, 2009
DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links.
Because I broke our 9-month-old’s no-television rule to watch the Nats draft Stephen Strasburg, I had to explain to Mrs. Relevant why, despite not caring about the MLB Draft, this was must-see TV. I don’t know who most of the picks are, nor will I for years to come, if ever. Plus, Bud Selig is the MC. But, still, these Nats are awful, and Strasburg is awesome. Hence an actual Nats draft party, and reporters quoting a TV of their own. [Nats320]
