We've all heard the old saying, "If a tree falls in the forest when there's nobody around, does it really make a sound?"

The same could be said for the Washington Nationals of late. A ridiculous length of rain delays kept Saturday's game against the Marlins going until almost 2 a.m. --insane considering the two teams were playing again on Sunday.

What happened to the new rule that allows you to suspend games when it's late and pick up where you left off the next day?

But back to the tree ... Ryan Zimmerman hit a grand slam that as of now appears to have turned the Nats season around, but did anybody see it? There could not have been more than 100 people in the 50,000-seat stadium when that shot went out on Sunday morning, and that includes the ushers.

So did it really happen? The standings say it did and we of course have documentation on tape thanks to today's blanketing media coverage of pro sporting events.

But what about the high school and little league games when you hear about unbelievable plays? Is anybody videotaping them? Of course there are many parents who record their kids sports for their family's enjoyment but if they are proud of the achievement or some unbelievable moment that is documented, they should have the opportunity to let the world see it as well.

We here at NBC4.com have been inviting folks to show us their sports clips so that we can assist in showing the world. Do you know the No. 1 way of attracting college coaches, pro scouts, etc. to your children's athletic feats? It's by providing video to those folks so that they are informed about who to recruit, sign, etc.

You have the opportunity to use us as a conduit to make that happen, so please take advantage, send us your athletic moments. Catch our eye so that we put you on television as well as the web, and in turn, maybe catch the eyes of others who some day might make your kids realize their dreams.
