Every year, a team wins the World Series and a city celebrates. I think some World Series are more memorable than others, and the 2019 Nats would fall into that category. Based on the history of Washington baseball and the team’s dramatic trajectory throughout this season, Wednesday night’s win is extra special.Every year, a team wins the World Series and a city celebrates.

I was 10 when the Mets won in 1969, and no championship in my city has, for me, surpassed what happened 50 years ago.

The Nationals’ great World Series win comes with a huge decision for the players: whether to attend if the customary visit to the White House is held. What will the minority players do? The booing of the president, who won just 4 percent of the D.C. vote, at Nationals Park on Sunday night might be an indication.
