 Stevens and Skirbunt Make the Big LeaguesBID employees Ted Skirbunt and Michael Stevens realized their dreams to play in the "show" when they were called up from the Triple A team for the final game of the Nationals Season. Actually, they were a part of the Capital One Bank "Fantasy Softball Game" where the bank's clients and friends got to play a nine inning softball game in the Nationals Park outfield. Over 30 players participated in what Michael described as a "true bucket list experience". After the game the Nationals and Capital One Bank treated all participants to dinner in the Lexus Presidents Club. By the way, Ted plays a wicked outfield.
