One young Nats fan was appalled by the grave injustice of Jayson Werth being hit by a pitch

There's nothing quite like your childhood favorite player -- the first athlete to capture your heart and imagination. They're a hero, a person who can do no wrong, and you'd follow them anywhere.

You'd ... well, you would probably react the same way this young Nationals fan did, when she saw Jayson Werth get hit by a pitch during Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Rockies:

Luckily, Werth was OK, and ended 1-for-4 with a run scored.
