It was only a matter of time. During MASN’s broadcast of Monday night’s Grapefruit League game, Washington Nationals Managing Principal Owner, Mark Lerner, announced that the team would be celebrating Ryan Zimmerman this June, including retiring his #11 on Friday, June 18th.
“June 17th and 18th, we are going to honor Mr. National, Ryan Zimmerman,” Lerner said, “and have a special giveaway on the 17th, and 18th we’re going to retire his number, in front of a big sell-out crowd to honor him.
“We’re really excited about it, he deserves it, and we’re honored to be able to do it.
