Column: Nationals Park MLB All-Star Game showed Washington, D.C. shining in national spotlight

A cold chill ran through my body when I entered the Third Base Gate at Nationals Park for the 2018 MLB All-Star Game on Sunday.

It was the same feeling I had when my parents took me to Disney World.

I remember being a little kid, watching the All-Star Game every year with the hope of attending the Midsummer classic during my lifetime.

As I walked around the stadium and brushed past baseball fans from all over the country, the little kid inside me was unleashed.

It was like a dream. Mike Trout and Aaron Judge taking batting practice.
