The Washington Nationals have full-blown Washington Capitals fever.
And it appears to be a genuine interest and not a case of jumping on the bandwagon.
“It has been really fun to watch and how the city has rallied around them,” Nationals closer Sean Doolittle, a University of Virginia product, said Tuesday. “They are fun to hang around with … really laid-back guys. I am happy for all of those guys.”
Ryan Zimmerman, the injured Nationals first baseman, and ace pitcher Max Scherzer attended Game 4 on Monday night at Capital One Arena as the Capitals romped, 6-2, and moved to within one win of their first Stanley Cup title.
