Delmarva Nat’s Fans head to DC for World Series

47 ABC – For the first time since 1933 a World Series game will be played in Washington, D.C. And for two life-long D.C. baseball fans who now live on Delmarva, the opportunity to witness history was something they weren’t going to pass up.

Warren Rosenfeld, the owner of Rosenfeld’s Jewish Deli, has tickets to all three home games for the series. He shelled out over $6,000 for tickets plus a hotel but said it was worth it for a once in a lifetime experience.

“I think this is a once in a lifetime event so, my wife and I leave tomorrow morning to go to D.C. I am going to try to get there by 1 o’clock.  I am going to go into the stadium every night at 5 o clock for the 9 o clock game. And win, lose, or draw I am just going to try to enjoy every moment of it. I really am,” Rosenfeld said.

Meanwhile, Steve Frantz, who like Rosenfeld grew up a Senators fan, will be meeting his son in D.C. for Game 3 Friday night after the two made a promise that if the Nationals ever made it to the World Series, that they would go together. But his son is traveling from just anywhere, he’s traveling from the other side of the Atlantic.

“I told my son who works for the state department and travels all over the world, I said if they make it, I’ll buy the tickets you’ve got to fly yourself in from whatever country you happen to be in and he flew in today from Belgium.”

Both Frantz and Rosenfeld said being in the stadium for the World Series will be surreal and both are obviously hoping for a curly W Friday night and then one more to bring the championship back to D.C.
