The seating Section 241 of Nationals Park, the home of the [[Washington Nationals]] Major League Baseball team, is known as the [[National League]]'s rowdiest seating areas, if not the rowdiest in all of baseball. |

Fans seated in Section 241, generally single young professionals between the ages of 18 and 35, typically chant "two-four-one! two-four-one!" and often attempt to start the wave. The former has been thought to distract and perplex outfielders of visiting teams. |

The section's unique persona is believed to be rooted in the number 241. Regulars of the section are believed to have chosen it because 241, pronounced "two-four-one" sounds similar to the name of the '''''two-for-one''''' special sales of [[beer]] at the ballpark. |

241 (two hundred [and] forty-one) is the natural number between 240 and 242. It is also a prime number.
In mathematics
[edit]- 241 is the larger of the twin primes (239, 241). Twin primes are pairs of primes separated by 2.
- 241 is a regular prime[1] and a lucky prime.[2] Since 241 = 15 × 24 + 1, it is a Proth prime.
- 241 is a repdigit in base 15 (111).
- 241 is the only known Lucas–Wieferich prime to (U, V) = (3, −1).
In other fields
[edit]- Americium-241 is an isotope commonly used in smoke detectors.[3]
