Young fans ask for autographs from pitcher Max Scherzer after the batting practice of Washington Nationals baseball players before a game at the Nationals Park on May 21, 2018 in Washington DC. - On a searing hot summer's day in Washington, a group of children are playing baseball in a pristine park that stands at odds with its surroundings in the city's rough-and-tumble southeast.Parents and grandparents shout encouragement from the stands as they chow down on hot dogs, some seeking shelter under the shade of a blue tent.
