With 5 months until baseball in Chicago returns, I thought it would be interesting to look at the all time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. We continue today with the Washington Nationals.
The Nationals began life in 1969 as the Montreal Expos. When the Expos missed out on their best opportunity to win a World Series due to the work stoppage of 1994, followed by years of alleged mismanagement, fan support dropped away, and the team moved to Washington in 2005. I’ve seen them play 13 times, 5 as the Expos and 8 as the Nationals, most recently on April 7, 2012.
