Nationals tease fans with glimpse of Jayson Werth Chia Pet (photos)

The first 20,000 fans through the gate at Nationals Park for the Washington Nationals’ showdown with the Arizona Diamondbacks will be the lucky recipients of arguably one of the goofiest, off-the-wall but downright awesome giveaways in recent memory: A Jayson Werth Chia Pet.

That’s right, in honor of the outfielder’s impressive facial hair, the team will be giving away a Chia Pet where the “pottery that grows” aspect of the infamous, oddball, decorative plant thingamajig popularized in the 1980s will sprout an abundance of plant life from Werth’s face.

And also, his chest. But just a bit down there, though.
