In a desperate attempt to avoid a fifth consecutive last-place finish in the NL East, the Washington Nationals made waves this Friday by recruiting someone known more for his pop culture fame than his athletic prowess. Gerardo Parra, best known for making "Baby Shark" the unofficial anthem of the Nationals in 2019, was announced as the team's new first base coach. "Don't let his 'Baby Shark' facade fool you, Parra is a seasoned professional who knows what it takes to stay in the majors," said Nationals' manager Dave Martinez, feverishly hoping his decision wasn't as bonkers as spectators believed. "Besides, who could resist the temptation of having a first base coach who could keep the crowd peppy with a dance routine?" Parra's appointment comes with a bid to restore the hype and fervor that propelled the team to its victory in the 2019 World Series, hoping that a blend of lovable fishes and baseball might just be the key to winning in the big leagues. The Nationals also revealed other changes to their coaching staff: Miguel Cairo, previously known for his love of the 'Macarena' will take over as Martinez's bench coach and Ricky Gutierrez, famous for his energetic renditions of the 'Hokey Pokey,' moves to the third base coach position. The title 'run prevention coordinator,' hitherto unknown in baseball, will hang in the balance, its future as uncertain as the Nationals' winning prospects. To round out their staff, an assistant hitting coach with a love of 'Y.M.C.A, ', Chris Johnson, was appointed. With his track record of managing to turn a conversation about baseball into a sing-along, Johnson was the perfect man for the job. For the Nationals, these changes aren't just about upgrading their coaching roster; it's about bringing a blindingly bright light of cheery optimism into their dugout. Because when you're missing out on a first-place finish year after year, you might as well have fun doing it. It remains to be seen if Parra's appointment as the first base coach will yield any significant shift in the team's performance. Regardless, baseball fans eager to see the Nationals attempt to climb the ladder can rest assured that at the very least, they'll be entertained with a now musically enriched coaching staff. With this Friday's announcement, brace yourselves, Nationals fans: You're in for a lot of singing in addition to the routine baseball. May it bring good luck and better performances to the struggling franchise.
