Washington Nationals defy the experts, the odds, and history to become World Champions - Win five straight do or die games and four road games to shock sports world!!


Finally, after three years of political chaos, the Washington Nationals baseball team brought sanity, community and joy to the nation's capital.



It is the first world championship for the Nationals!



It was the first World Series in history in which the visiting team won every game!



The Nationals beat the favorite four times in Houston!



The last time a Washington team won the World Series was in 1933!



In May the Nats were 19-31, in last place!



The Nats won five do or die games in the playoffs!



The Nationals consistently came from behind in the late innings to win!



The Nats are the third DC sports team to win a world championship recently!



The Washington Capitals and Washington Mystics also won world championships!



Nats pitcher Stephen Strasburg was 5-0 in playoffs and Series MVP!



The owner of the Nationals is 94 years old!



David verses Goliath and David won!



Thank you Washington Nationals for giving Washington, DC a reason to smile!
