The Nationals have announced a series of monthly health initiatives this season designed to improve the quality of life in the metropolitan area.

It's sadly appropriate, and no accident, that neurological disorders will be the designated disease for July. It was in that month 70 years ago that Yankees immortal Lou Gehrig - dying in his 30s from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - uttered perhaps the most melancholy and memorable words in baseball history: "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth." Representatives of each health organization will either throw out a ceremonial first pitch or deliver the starting lineup to home plate sometime each month.
Here's the contact information for the Washington Nationals. Let's let them know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something really important for Lou Gehrig's Disease.
