For the longest time, this particular telecast did not exist on the Internet, and only those living in the Washington DC/Baltimore area were able to see it as it happened, while the rest of the country could see it nationally on ESPN or on the local Giants telecast. This is the full at-bat of the event, as well as the ensuing ceremony, all with commentary from those working the Nationals' broadcast, which, while congratulatory, had somewhat of a cynical mood in some places. Bob Carpenter and Don Sutton have the call. (Coincidentally, Carpenter also called St. Louis Cardinals games during Mark McGwire's record-breaking 1998 season.)
