After spending 2004 with the Cleveland Indians and Arizona Diamondbacks, Chad has signed with the Washington Nationals of MLB. This is the former Montreal Expo team that has moved to Washington, D.C., and Chad hopes for a fresh new start with the Nationals. The Woodlawn "W" on our caps came from the original Washington Senators team from years ago. The Nationals will use that same "W", and Chad will now be sporting his high school alma mater's logo, only in a different color. Good luck to Chad in 2005.
