I freakin' love baseball in Washington. Even now, it's still ridiculously easy to get tickets, and the park's pretty nice. I made it to far more Nats games during the time I was living in D.C. than Sox games the entire rest of my life - probably past and future.

I get the impression from news coverage that a couple of his best haven't been translated into English yet, but presumably that will change now.
