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.....

We suffered with our SF Giants all year and when it was clear they were not going to be anywhere near the World Series, we turned our attention to who might be contenders, and definitely went with the Nats. I have sentiment for the old WA Senators with Walter Johnson. And we're not fond of Texas much. It did our hearts good to see the Nationals win.
