Kurt Suzuki acknowledged, towards the end of the 60-game COVID campaign this past September, that the Washington Nationals not getting the usual victory lap after they’d finally won it all in 2019, was frustrating and disappointing for players and fans alike.
“I thing the most frustrating part of this season,” the 37-year-old, 14-year veteran said in late September 2020, “is after having such a special year last year, winning the World Series, the way we did it, with a lot of the core guys that have come back this year on this team, and for it to be kind of like this, a shortened season, no fans, you can’t do the things that normal world champions can do in the follow-up season.
