unbelievable.

every elimination game had a late inning rally that led to a curly "W".

EVERY.SINGLE.ONE.OF.THEM.

Wild Card; NLDS; WS.

this team just would not give up. they "stayed in the fight" until the very last out.

it's a privilege to witness the transformation from '05 'til now. this moment is the culmination of it all:

moving from Montreal;
playing in an unfinished RFK stadium;
being 50-32 that 1st season, but finishing 81-81;
Frank Robinson (RIP);
the 100-loss seasons of Manny Acta & Jim Riggleman;
wearing Natinals jerseys;
the clusterf*ck of Jim Bowden and Carlos (Esmailyn "Smiley" Gonzalez) Alvarez;
the inability of Drew Storen to get ONE.FUCKING.STRIKE in the bottom of the 9th against St. Louis in 2012;
Matt Williams;
and finally...letting Bryce Harper walk.

it all led to this...

the 2019 World Series Champions, the Washington Nationals.

WOW!!!
