Five days later than planned, let’s try this again... After multiple positive coronavirus tests right before Opening Day, the Washington Nationals will hope to open their 2021 season this week, and welcome fans back for the first time since Game 5 of the 2019 World Series.
You remember that series, right? That one where the Nationals only went and won the damn World Series. Good times, good times...
Anyway, some will say that this season is the Nationals’ true defense of their crown with a full 162-game schedule set to be played this season after last year’s abbreviated 60-game campaign.
