Braden Holtby wasn’t the only celebrity at Nationals Park on Saturday.
Known Science Guy and DC native Bill Nye attended the Nationals day-night doubleheader against the San Francisco Giants. He briefly transformed into a PA Guy to announce the Nationals’ starting lineup.
Got #science on our side tonight…

Wow, he did a very good and very professional job here. Part of me wishes he would have abandoned that and just chanted Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!
Nye is a longtime Nationals fan and attended Game Three of the 2019 World Series between the Nats and Houston Astros.
