The Washington Nationals played in RFK Stadium during the first three years of their existence. Then, in 2008, the team played their first season at Nationals Park. With this being ten years since the ballpark opened, we are beginning a new series where we look back at the first team that opened that ballpark.
While the Nats ended up going a dismal 59-102 that season, there were still some interesting players on the roster. The first one we will talk about today is center fielder Lastings Milledge. 2008 was the only full season Milledge played in the Nation’s Capital.
