In case you were wondering...
Some of you may be wondering how I can get so excited about the Nationals in 2019 after cheering for the Red Sox in 2018. Obviously I have deep roots in Massachusetts. My Dad was a huge Red Sox fan (even though the only time the Sox won the World Series during his lifetime was when he was 12 months old), and I went to college a few blocks from Fenway Park. So Boston will always be the American League team of my heart.
But I was happy when Washington ended its baseball drought in 2005 with a National League team. Even with the current trends in interleague play during the season, the Red Sox and the Nationals seldom play each other (and I don't think they have a matchup on their 2020 schedules). And it's downright fun to cheer for the home team.
So I have two favorite teams, one in each league. And now that these two teams have won back-to-back World Series championships, I will be happy to add a 2019 Nationals championship banner to the 2018 Red Sox pennant on my wall.
And I am officially *incredibly* spoiled for future Octobers.....
