1. Jayson Werth Chia Pet
You have probably heard about it already, but the Nationals have ensured themselves a sellout on that day. The team has partnered with Chia Pet to put together a clay pot thingy that will resemble Jayson Werth and grow out his beard with plant stuff. It may be the coolest promotion in the big leagues this year. Maybe even of all-time.
The Chia Pet had a Twitter account just 11 minutes after it was announced and may already be more famous than the gnome. I have already bought my tickets to go get one of them and it will be on my windowsill everyday, from then on, until the day I die. Regardless of Werth’s off the field issues this offseason, Nationals fans will continue to adore him and make him our idol.
There is now a second piece to honor the great diety that is Jayson Werth and his wonderful beard. It is the clear choice for best Nationals promotion of 2015 Nats Fans you can get this fantastic specimen on August 5 (first 20,000).
