The World Series starts this week in Los Angeles, making it 84 years since Washington last appeared in one. With another heartbreaking postseason loss this month – the fourth time in the last six years – DC baseball fans are starting to wonder if they’re cursed.
If they are, it didn’t start with Pete Kozma and the 2012 National League Division Series loss. No, this city’s postseason futility dates back nearly a century, to Game 7 of the 1925 World Series, which Washington lost in a bizarrely similar way as the Nats did to the Cubs this year.
