Nats should be celebrating independence at home

Today is Independence Day and for the first time since the Nationals arrived in the District, baseball will not be played in the Nation's Capital. I assume that this is due to the uncertainty of transportation to Nationals Park. Next year, July 4 baseball in Washington needs to resume and never cease. Other teams that should always have home games include the Yankees, Red Sox and Phillies for obvious reasons. Beyond those teams, I cannot think of any franchises that need to have July 4 home every season, though I am open to suggestions. For obvious reasons, the Blue Jays should never have a home game on July 4, nor should any other team that plays indoors. Games should be played during the day too, night games on holidays are awful.

I noticed that during the rain delay. I recall Carpenter saying there was only one other day game in the NL too. I wonder how many teams play at night so that they can have fireworks after the game.
