Additional commentary.
1. Inaccuracy in the marker's map
The subtitles correctly place Nationals Park in Washington, DC. However, the location on the map implies the stadium to be in Charles County, Maryland. Nationals Park stands in Southeast DC.
While the contemporary territory of the District of Columbia was carved out of land donated by the State of Maryland, DC and Maryland have been legally distinct entities since 1790. Comparatively, Kentucky and Virginia have been legally distinct since 1792.
