In December Gameops.com awarded the Nationals President’s Race Best Promotion honors, and this year the Nationals have improved on their centerpiece promotion even more.  This from the “Let Teddy Win” Blog.

#1: Racing Presidents (What Else?). I started this site because the racing presidents are the first truly unique hometown tradition that we can call our own. They are great fun, and give kids of all ages another reason to become Nationals fans.

I was incredibly pleased to find that the team has made them a huge part of the fan experience at Nationals Park. The presidents race itself has been expanded, plus Teddy, George, Tom, and Abe greeted us at the centerfield gates and reappeared near the kids zone after the 4th inning. The Nationals had no idea how big the racing presidents could be when they were first created, but it’s equally clear that they are astute enough to build on this great fan tradition.

Great to see a team taking it’s strongest element and pushing it even further.

The Lake County Captains are taking a similar bend, reviving their popular live Perch Races (which were abandoned last year after a sponsor pulled out) giving out 1000 mini bobbleheads for it’s three popular Perch fish characters, and reviving the popular in-game feature.

What a great question to ask yourself, what are you doing “best” and how can you expand on your own success?
