Want to Be a Racing President for the Nats? Here's Your Chance

If you've ever wanted to "run for president," here's your chance!

The Washington Nationals are looking for candidates who want to be Racing Presidents for the upcoming season.

Wednesday is the deadline to apply online.

But there is a catch: you have to be between 5 feet 7 inches and 6 feet 6 inches tall. 

You also need a high school diploma, be able to attend at least 40 percent of the home games and be able to run from center field to first base.

The Racing Presidents have been around since 2006. The 12-feet tall presidential mascots represent five former presidents, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and William Taft.

In addition to their park duties, the Racing Presidents also promote the team and join in community efforts around the D.C. Metro area.
