The Washington Nationals’ presidents race got a little too intense on Easter Sunday.
The person in the Teddy Roosevelt suit was crushed by a spear from the Easter Bunny in an NFL-style hit.
The hit rocked our 26th president so hard that his bunny ears flew off.
This isn’t the first time the Easter Bunny announced his presence with authority, either. He’s lowered the boom in past Easter Sunday races, too.
The Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4, but the real action happened during this race.
