The Fourth of July is marked by paying taxes and enjoying a game between the Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals. This game features one of the few pre-noon first pitches in all of baseball, allowing fans ample time to enjoy traditional Independence Day activities like eating hot dogs and watching fireworks. Additionally, the mascot race adds excitement, with Thomas Jefferson having a notable legacy tied to the holiday, contrasting with George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln as potential contenders.
Today, we celebrate Uncle Sam's birthday by paying our taxes on time and watching our beloved Boston Red Sox take on the Washington Nationals.
It's one of the few pre-noon first pitches across all of baseball, so you still have plenty of time to eat hot dogs and watch fireworks later in the day.
Does Thomas Jefferson always win the mascot race on the fourth? I guess Washington could win, but the Declaration of Independence was kinda Jefferson's thing.
If Roosevelt or Lincoln wins, that should be considered an act of treason.
