If things weren’t bad enough for the Washington Nationals given how the team cannot escape a months-long downward spiral out of postseason relevancy, the front office appeared to be committed to bungling matters on its end as well.
Reports indicate that Nationals brass has asked the team’s official radio partner, 106.7 The Fan, to change up the tune it plays if and when the Nats actually win a ballgame.
Going on four years now, the Journey classic “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” would greet fans tuning into the postgame coverage following a Nationals win. And while some may bristle at the overt cheesiness to the Journey tune — or any tune from the band, for that matter, depending on one’s musical tastes, the fans seemed to love it and warmly accepted it as a traditional component of the broadcast.
