After Howie Kendrick's historic 10th inning grand slam, the Nationals have won their first postseason series ever and advance to the NLCS to face the St. Louis Cardinals.
The birds just topped the Atlanta Braves in five games, but the Nationals have a storied history with St. Louis within their few postseason stories to tell. In what might as well be referred to as the game that shall not be named, the Cardinals posted the largest comeback ever in an elimination playoff game against the Nats in Game 5 of the 2012 NLDS.
