The History of the Nationals

The Washington Nationals are a relatively young team, having been founded in 2005. However, the team has a long and storied history that dates back to the late 19th century.

The Nationals' roots can be traced back to the Washington Senators, who were founded in 1891. The Senators played in the National League until 1960, when they moved to the American League. The Senators were a perennial contender in the American League, winning seven pennants and one World Series championship.

In 1972, the Senators moved to Arlington, Texas, and became the Texas Rangers. Washington was without a baseball team for 33 years, until the Nationals were founded in 2005.

The Nationals have quickly become one of the most successful teams in the National League. They have won four division championships and one World Series championship. The Nationals are also home to some of the best players in baseball, including Bryce Harper, Juan Soto, and Max Scherzer.

Iconic Nationals Moments

The Nationals have had many iconic moments throughout their history. Here are a few of the most memorable:

• The Nationals' first World Series championship in 2019. The Nationals defeated the Houston Astros in four games to win their first World Series title.
• Bryce Harper's walk-off home run in Game 5 of the 2012 NLDS. Harper's home run gave the Nationals a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals and sent them to the NLCS.
• Juan Soto's three-run home run in Game 4 of the 2019 World Series. Soto's home run gave the Nationals a 6-2 lead in the seventh inning and helped them clinch the World Series title.
• Max Scherzer's no-hitter in 2015. Scherzer became the first Nationals pitcher to throw a no-hitter when he blanked the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 20, 2015.
