He has been with his team since day one. I’m trying to get attention on twitter to see if I can get him on the field when he’s there. That’s were I’m going here my fellow lovers of DC! Can you simply retweet this and hashtag it #getrononthefield ? I’ve sent emails to the stadium as well and dms to players and
