How to become a fan favorite

Here’s how to become a fan favorite:

1) collect the first hit in the history of your baseball team
2) hit for the cycle in your teams second game ever
3) get a hit in your home opener

Brad Wilkerson can check the first two off his list. Yesterday in Philadelphia he hit for the cycle – for the second time in his career – and the Nationals won their first game 7-3. Expect huge ovations for Wilkerson when he steps to the plate next week in DC -- and expect for him to deliver with a base hit or two.
