In spite of their success over the last five seasons, which includes three division titles and the second-most wins in the majors over that stretch, the Washington Nationals have not been able to win consecutive NL East crowns.
Dusty Baker told reporters this winter he wasn’t too concerned with history repeating itself in his second year in the nation’s capital.
Though the Nationals failed to defend their 2012 and 2014 division titles, for a variety of reasons, Baker said he, obviously, wasn’t in D.C. for either of those disappointments.
