WASHINGTON - This team in the DMV – after winning the World Series – decided to stick with several of the veterans who won them a ring.
So the next year, this team to start the season had a regular catcher in his mid-30s, a key outfielder and second baseman in their 30s and two starting pitchers in their 30s.
But that unit is not the Washington Nationals – that Major League squad was the 1984 Baltimore Orioles, who opted to go with several veterans after winning the Fall Classic in 1983.
