The 2019 Washington Nations are the champions of the world in baseball. After sputtering to start the season, manager Davey Martinez got his message through to his team… have fun and win the day. Sitting at a low point of 19-31 with a 0.1% chance of winning the World Series, they went to work.
Key trade deadline moves helped solidify their bullpen as they were able to best the Chicago Cubs for the second National League wild card spot on the last day of the regular season.
Then all this happened…
After topping the MLB-best Houston Astros in a historic 7-game series, the Washington Nationals pulled off the ultimate underdog story of 2019.
