WASHINGTON -- When Sean Doolittle was traded to the Nationals last summer, it was a perfect match for a few reasons. On the field, Doolittle became the closer that helped stabilize a leaky Nats bullpen, which had posted the worst ERA in the Majors during the first half. But the pairing was also perfect off the field for Doolittle and his wife, Eireann Dolan.
One of baseball's most socially active players would now be playing his home games in Washington.
"If you want to get involved and do some stuff off the field, this is a great organization to do that," Doolittle said.
