Washington Nationals Win 2019 World Series For The Ages

Now, the Washington Nationals are the seventh Wildcard team to win the World Series. Indeed, on Wednesday night, the 31st and final day of October of 2019; they knocked off the mighty Houston Astros for the fourth time at Minute Maid Park.

Furthermore, the Nationals had to come from behind to win the title.

Sometimes, videos can tell a story. For the Nationals – who certainly seem like a team of destiny in the end – a video tells this story well.

While this team started 19-31 in the regular season and considered firing their manager Davey Martinez; they never quit. Five times in the postseason, they came from behind to win a game. This included their Wildcard win over the Milwaukee Brewers and this game seven that won the title.

Still, no one in this series won a home game. This series will go down in history in so many ways. For the first seven innings of this game, the Nationals were looking at a bleak outcome. For example, look at the tweet below. Until Howie Kendrick hit a pitcher’s pitch off the right-field foul pole off reliever Will Harris, the Astros’ victory was certain.

Then, at a 3-2 score; the Nationals went back to work and buried the Astros. Juan Soto and Adam Eaton had the hits that finished off what started so long ago.

Stephen Strasburg won the World Series Most Valuable Player Award in going 5-0 in the postseason. Equally important in this series was Anthony Rendon. When the Nationals looked like they couldn’t get off the mat, he homered for the second night in a row to break up the shutout off Greinke.

Finally, this series was great for the game of baseball. Whether your team was in it or not – or you were just a casual fan who tuned in – both of these teams provided the drama you want in a Fall Classic.

In the end, the Nationals proved to be true champions; overcoming what looked like an epic collapse several times. Certainly, they were a team of resiliency that never quit, and all those other fine cliché’s certainly apply with this bunch.
