Nationals rookies make statement with 'revolutionary' outfits at start of West Coast trip

The Washington Nationals kicked off a West Coast road trip with a rookie-themed tradition—styling themselves like America’s founding fathers. The team posted photos on social media showing rookies Yohandy Morales, Harry Ford, Riley Cornelio and Andrew Alvarez heading to Dodger Stadium dressed accordingly, with Cornelio in a massive bald eagle costume. Outfielder Daylen Lile joined the celebration as well, even though his rookie eligibility was exhausted in 2025. Lile wore a stars-and-stripes polo paired with a patriotic top hat. The post tied the playful look to the broader 250th birthday moment for the country, highlighting the club’s rookies as they began the trip.
