Washington Nationals chocolate syrup celebrations

Early in the season, when the Washington Nationals were celebrating big wins by dousing their players in chocolate sauce, Hershey’s sent them 132 bottles of the stuff. The Nats have cooled off since the All-Star break, but the team is now selling chocolate-drizzled Max Scherzer and Bryce Harper shirseys in the team store. Here's a look at the Nationals' chocolate syrup celebrations this season.
