Even in a world where rate stats trump all, I still get excited when I see players approaching old-school totals. The Washington Nationals are working through a sluggish, injury-filled start to the season, but several players are still nearing some historic marks.
While many Montreal Expos already dot baseball’s record books, fans are finally starting to see a few Washington Nationals pop up too.
The Nats are coming up on their 15th season in D.C., and the franchise’s talent level has dramatically increased over the second-half of their time in the city. With every additional all-star that dons the Nats’ red, white, and blue, Washington slowly turns into more and more of a baseball town.
