The infamous but mucho loved Captain Morgan will be throwing out the first pitch at Nationals Park this coming Friday, part of a nationwide Captain Morgan First Pitch tour where the good Captain has been hitting ballparks, chicks and throwing out first pitches.

Captain Morgan is the symbolic piratical character to a really kick ass brand of spiced rums and more. The real Captain Morgan was a thief and a fiend, burning down villages and going into battle using priests as human shields. That works because it sounds just like a Phillies fan and the Nats are playing the Phillies on Friday.

Other Nats blogs might not even give this a mention, but we here at the NQ applaud the Nationals and Captain Morgan in their efforts to get everyone in Natstown wasted.

It is like they are giving back to the fans and not only that, this weekend Nats fans are probably going to need a little inebriation.
