The Washington Nationals officially announced a multi-year extension with manager Davey Martinez this morning, a day after the news broke, and close to a year after the third-year skipper, who turned 56 today, led the club to the first World Series championship by a D.C.-based team since 1924.
“Three years ago when we selected Davey to be our Manager, he made a promise to our fans that he would bring a World Championship back to Washington, D.C.,” Managing Principal Owner Mark D. Lerner said in a press release on the extension this morning.
“There was never any doubt in my mind that he would make that dream a reality.
