During the first running of the Presidents at a Nationals game this season, the Easter Bunny emerges to lay a hurting on some of the participants.

They’re at it again. Another season of Major League Baseball means that those beloved presidents Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and William Howard Taft are racing during Washington Nationals 4th innings.

However, this year the Easter Bunny wanted to get in the action, or at the least was holding some sort of grudge.

In the video below, the Bunny leaps onto George Washington, sending him to the ground hard. Later on in the race, included in the same clip, the Bunny hops on top of Teddy Roosevelt from behind also sending him to the ground.

Looks like this Bunny was not ready to move on from the attention of his holiday to celebrate America’s pasttime. The Presidents have been running at Nationals games since 2006, but this is a first when it comes to bunny attacks. Although, there always seems to be some sort of shenanigans going on behind the scenes and Presidents looking to get an upper hand.

Roosevelt in particular was the butt of many jokes, going without a win in this race until 2012. Hopefully the Easter Bunny and whatever motivation he had to get involved in the race will be able to move on after today’s incident, no one likes a mascot who overstays their welcome. Furthermore, if this is how the Bunny races some one might get seriously hurt.

As for the game the Nationals fell to the New York Mets 3-1 in their home opener.
