On Saturday in the nation s capital, mostly human volunteers and Screech, the Washington Nationals mascot converged to put together something special.
From the safety of their cars, adhering to Covid-19 prevention protocols, children in the local community were handed bat-and-ball sets that will springboard baseball and softball activity throughout the 2021 season. The children attending were excited to receive the event giveaways, and the parents were pleased to see an event of this sort for children. Screech was an additional treat for all, said event organizer Dr. Joseph D. Turner, who helped spearhead the event alongside fellow minister Maurice Mack-Murrow and Tyra Mack-Murrow.
