OUT TO THE BALLGAME
When 5 p.m. rolled around on June 8, “it was like the recess bell rang for D.C. lawyers,” said Patrick Regan of Regan, Zambri & Long. Regan and others headed straight for Stephen Strasburg’s sold-out debut at Washington Nationals Park. Charles Cohen of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius sat with Obama administration power couple Cass Sunstein and Samantha Power. D.C. Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a season ticketholder, came with his father. DLA Piper partner Thomas Boyd sat next to a White Sox scout, who told him, “This kid knows how to pitch.” Phillies fan Cathy Rought of the Podesta Group, who sat along the first baseline, wore her team’s shirt, drawing dirty looks. But “I was a Nats fan for just a few hours,” she said. — Julio Menache
