The Washington Nationals will soon be debuting an awesome combination of bullpen cart and t-shirt cannon called T-Shirt-Tank.  Now, the team hasn’t actually announced any plans to do this, but recent events suggest it’s only a matter of time.

Two years ago, my brother and I spent a game talking about things we would do if we owned a team (albeit a minor league team).  I wrote about a few of those ideas, including the T-Shirt-Tank and a water slide.

Another proposal was to have “grab bag” promotion near the end of the season to get rid of any remaining giveaway items that weren’t claimed at earlier games.  These would be from the times we had t-shirts ready for the first 5,000 fans and only 4,971 showed up.

Guess what the Nats are doing this week?  That’s right, all season ticket holders have a coupon to stop by a conference room at the stadium where they have tables of these promo items for our choosing.  We scored Stephen Strasburg bobbleheads left over from the April 14 game:

Not quite sure how any of these were still around given that the other extra bobblehead choices were Adam Dunn and Nyjer Morgan — neither of which played for the Nats this season.

At a game a few weeks ago my brother and I were discussing the idea of someone creating a smartphone app people could use to order food in the stadium.  This was more of a thought for a rogue entrepreneur — not a stadium employee — who would take the orders, get food from the various concession stands and deliver it to the patrons in their seats.

What did the Nats launch a short time later?  Their very own app to do just that.

Since they listen to all of our ideas, the T-Shirt-Tank can’t be far behind.  If you have anything else you’d like to see, just let us know.
