At the Ballpark:  The first 10,000 fans tonight will receive an MLB Network hat.  Saturday is Cat-urday at the ballpark, which entitles theme ticket holders to a special Cat-urday t-shirt.  In big bold letters on the Nationals' website, it says this in reference to Cat-urday:  "FANS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO BRING CATS TO NATIONALS PARK IN CONNECTION WITH THIS EVENT."
