The Washington Nationals just won their first World Series of Baseball. Not since the San Francisco Giants Championship of 2014 has a wild card team won it all. Both teams seem to have had that same gutsy, grind it out style of players that led them to an improbable seven Game World Series win.
Most everyone gave the Houston Astros the series coming into tonight's deciding game. Seeing them take an early 2-0 lead and watching starting pitcher Zack Greinke allow only one hit through 6 innings, it looked a lock for the Astros. But then in the top of the 7th the Senators remembered how to dance, scoring three runs off two homers to take a 3-2 lead. By the end of the 7th Greinke was gone and the Astros were never the same.
The Senators added three more runs in closing out what was an exciting and competitive 2019 World Series. And to think that the visiting team won every game. The magic of sports is witnessing great moments while watching history in the making.
Baseball is a beautiful game to behold. Cindefella never looked so good as when slipping into a Washington Nationals "World Series Champions" baseball cap.
Congratulations Nationals!
