Here’s a statement of fact that, until fairly recently, could only be uttered with extreme sarcasm: It’s pretty great to be a DC sports fan.
Earlier this week, the Nationals wrapped up an incredibly improbable run to capture their first World Series title, sweeping the city (and some of their fellow DC athletes) up in the fervor en route to the championship Wednesday night. This run came just over a month after the Washington Mystics, once more celebrated for their attendance banners than a winning record, brought home their first championship two decades in the making.
