The Washington Nationals hosted the Wounded Warrior Amputee Softball Team on Sunday, September 4th for their first Wounded Warrior Celebrity Softball Game. The squad will face a group of D.C.-area celebrities as part of an on-field exhibition following the conclusion of the post-game Kids Run the Bases event.
