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!!!
