The Washington Nationals have a date with destiny, and fans shopped for an NLCS Game 4 outfit that’s appropriate for sweeping away St. Louis.
A Nats-red October, of course, is still October, and fans shopped for items, such as such, hoodies and sleeved attire at the Nationals Team Store — because World Series dreams can only warm the heart so much.
WTOP’s Kristi King visited with some of the fans while they shopped.

Theresa Cheseldine and daughter Colleen Snook headed straight for the store from the airport Tuesday. Snook, in from Nashville, has standing-room seats with her sister. “I just moved like seven months ago and I used to live across the street,” Snook said. “And I really miss coming to the games all the time, so I said, ‘I got to be here.'”

The “Bringin’ It Home” T-shirt should probably be layered over something during this Game 4.

A half-zip would be a good call, considering that the temperature could drop into the high 50s Tuesday night.

It arguably won’t be scarf-cold for Tuesday night’s Game 4, but who knows what kind of temperatures the World Series will bring?

Now this looks warm. Should be machine washable, too, in case you’re worried about nacho stains.

If the prices of that stuff give you pause, please note that they can be higher. A $1,500 crystal helmet doesn’t look terribly warm, does it?

Hugh Kaufman, the Nats’ “Rubber Chicken Man,” dropped by the team store to do some shopping, and he also brought his own buttons. He points out that the Washington Senators went to the World Series the year Nats’ former managing principal owner Ted Lerner was born. Did we mention it’s Mr. Lerner’s birthday today?

Milton White of D.C. has a hat for every year, and he managed to score the last size 7 5/8 postseason hat.
