Attention all Nationals fans: The CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Fan Challenge is back, and we want you to challenge rookie sensation Juan Soto to anything! You know that Soto is confident.

Whatever your challenge it is, tweet it to @masnNationals using #GoJuan. He'll pick a winner to face off in a head-to-head...

Two no-hitters. A 20-strikeout game. Three All-Star Games. A Cy Young Award. OK, now that we've listed a few of his credentials, it's pretty obvious that you probably can't beat Max Scherzer in baseball. But you could beat him at something else. So prove it! The CareFirst Fan Challenge is back, and we want you to challenge Mad Max to ... anything! Think you can take him down in a game of cornhole or chess? Can you grill a better burger than him or make him say uncle following a round of...

Best of the BBQ: Adam Jones and Wayne Kirby face off against CareFirst Fan Challenge winner
"Work or Don't Eat." That phrase was scripted across the front of All-Star center fielder Adam Jones' shirt as he and Wayne Kirby strolled down Eutaw Street to Boog's BBQ stand. Trays of ribs in hand, the duo set to take on CareFirst Fan Challenge winner Thomas Turnbaugh in a good, old-fashioned BBQ battle. While Jones and Kirby prepared Greek-style ribs, throwing them on the grill and adding lemon and secret spices, Turnbaugh brought a unique course to the table: a classic pulled-pork BBQ...

Take on the skipper with the 2015 CareFirst Fan Challenge
Take a glance at Matt Williams' resume, and you can't help but be impressed: a rookie manager who led the Nationals to the NLDS, the National League Manager of the Year in 2014, a four-time Gold Glove winner, a four-time Silver Slugger and a five-time All-Star. On the field and in the dugout, Williams has a baseball career few can rival. Sure, you probably can't measure up on the diamond, but that doesn't mean you can't take on the skipper at your own game! You guessed it: The CareFirst...
