2019 World Series Champions

The Washington Nationals are the World Series Champions in thrilling fashion. One of the biggest upsets in a while as a team that almost everyone had counted out in May when they were 19-31 and there were calls for Manager Davey Martinez to be fired. Then they managed to come from behind time and again. Getting one of the two wild cards and then in the Wild Card Game coming from behind against the Brewers while one of the best Closers in baseball is on the mound. In the NLDS after years of suffering in the 5 game series, to come back from behind twice against the Dodgers to winning games 4 and 5 to finally get over the hump. Then there was the relatively easy NLCS when the Cardinals were swept after which the Nats had a week off before the World Series began. As the World Series began it started strong with Washington beating Houston twice in Houston coming back home they lost all three of those games so heading back to Houston they were down 3-2 and once again the Nationals came back twice winning games 6 and 7 to bring the Title to Washington for the first time since 1924. It was great to see this team break through finally and perhaps there is more to come in the upcoming years.
