Not even three feet of snow can stop the Racing Presidents. The Washington Nationals will host tryouts for the popular large-headed mascots at the ballpark on Saturday, despite current conditions on the ground.

If you’re thinking you’d like to tryout, it’s too late to get a slot, however. About 60 candidates have already been chosen to participate out a pool of 150 applicants. We should also note that Saturday’s even isn’t open to the public.

But will this year’s tryouts, which include a fully costumed, timed 40-yard dash, be affected by the snoverkill?

“We are actually still working all of that out,” Nats spokesperson Lisa Pagano told us. “There is a chance we could hold them on the concourse level – we need to be sure it’s a safe environment for everyone.”

A decision on the location should be made tomorrow, Pagano said, but the tryouts will go on at 3 p.m. someplace inside the ballpark, snow or shine.
