With baseball shut down because of the corona virus, I thought it would be an interesting time to look back at the all time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. We start today with the franchise I have seen the least and the defending World Series champion 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 17 times, 5 as the Expos and 12 as the Nationals, most recently on August 24, 2019.
