Nice touch by the Washington Nationals, who put away their usual hats to pay respects and show support to the victims of the Virginia Tech shootings by wearing Virginia Tech baseball hats during their game with the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.

The Nationals said the idea of wearing the Virginia Tech caps came from a fan from Calvert County, Md., who e-mailed team president Stan Kasten.

"When I read it, I thought, 'Wow. This is really nice,"' Kasten said. "It was the very least we could do."

The hat worn by Chris Snelling during the Nats' 6-4 loss to Atlanta will be on its way to Cooperstown, for display in baseball's hall of fame.
