“How do they do it?”

Do you ask a fish how it swims? Or a bird how it flies? No, you don’t. They do it because they were born to do it. Just like Willy Wonka was born to be a candy man…and you were born to be a Nats giveaway seeker.

On Thursday, September 3, the first 20,000 fans to enter Nationals Park will receive a Nationals-themed Nesting Doll, celebrating 10 years of Washington Nationals uniforms and the stars who wore them. Featuring Max Scherzer (2015), Bryce Harper (2014), Ryan Zimmerman (2012), Chad Cordero (2007) and Frank Robinson (2005), the special set will be sure to thrill fans young and old.

However, for 100 lucky guests, the ballpark will be transformed into a land of pure imagination. Inside 100 regular Nesting Doll boxes randomly placed at all gates, fans can find a Golden Ticket — redeemable for a larger, more exclusive Nesting Doll set of 10 dolls.

You may have to outwit Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt and Violet Beauregarde to find your Golden Ticket, but the reward will be worth the effort. In the larger set of 10 dolls, fans will get Max Scherzer (2015), Bryce Harper (2014), Anthony Rendon (2013), Gio Gonzalez (2012), Jayson Werth (2011), Stephen Strasburg (2010), Cristian Guzman (2008), Chad Cordero (2007), Alfonso Soriano

(2006) and Ryan Zimmerman (2005).

Upon finding your Golden Ticket, you will be whisked away (OK, you’ll actually walk) to the Taft Conference room behind Sections 201­–203 on the Club Level, where your Golden Ticket will grant you admission inside to redeem your special set. We won’t spoil the fun of what else will be in the Taft room — there’s no earthly way of knowing, which direction you are going — but just know you’re safe from the Hornswogglers, Snozzwangers and rotten, Vermicious Knids.

The Center Field Gate will open at 4:30 p.m., all other gates will open at 5:30 p.m., and Golden Tickets must be redeemed by the end of the seventh inning on the day of the game only. So gather your friends, acquaintances, and most importantly your Grandpa Joe, and get out to Nationals Park for the game against the Atlanta Braves and a chance to live out a childhood dream.

After all, to paraphrase a wise man, “Nationals baseball, my dear friends, is 93 percent perspiration, 6 percent electricity, 4 percent evaporation and 2 percent butterscotch ripple.”
