"Dear D.C, when we first met I was a 20-year-old kid fresh out of the University of Virginia- the very first player ever selected by the newly created Washington Nationals in the 2005 draft. We have won together, lost together, and honestly, grown-up together."
"To all my teammates: You guys are what I will miss most about the game of baseball. Having the opportunity to get to know so many different people from all over the country and the world has shaped who I am as a person, and I will use that for the rest of my life."

Zimmerman concluded
"Although my baseball career has come to an end, my family and I will continue to be heavily involved in the DMV community. You have given so much to us over the past 17 years; It is now time for us to give back to you. So this is not the goodbye, but more of a 'See you around.' - Employee no. 11"
