Washington Nationals Tickets

Washington Nationals Tickets

Washington D.C. — the heartbeat of the nation. Nothing says the United States of America like its capital, and it’s only appropriate that this city has an all-American baseball team. So it’s even more ironic that the Washington Nationals began life as the MLB’s first Canadian major league team.

 

The Expos of Yesteryear and the Nationals of Today

The Nationals we know and love today are a relatively new addition to our nation’s capital. The team was established in 2005 when the Montreal Expos were purchased by the MLB and moved lock, stock, and barrel to fill a long-standing gap in D.C., which hadn’t had a team of its own in some time.

In fact, there hadn’t been a major league team calling Washington, D.C. home since 1971, when the Washington Senators moved west and became the Texas Rangers. The Expos had been playing in Montreal since 1969 but hadn’t made much of a name for themselves. Their move to D.C. made them the eighth team to rep the nation’s capital.

 

New Digs, and a New Lease on Life

The Expos were never really considered much of a powerhouse in the MLB. In fact, they were a middle-of-the-league team for their entire existence, managing only one postseason appearance in 1981 when they took the division title from the Phillies but lost the NLCS to the Dodgers. The team wouldn’t show that kind of moxie for another 30 years.

Yet moving to Washington has absolutely revitalized the Expos. With a new name and several years of team-building under their belts, suddenly the new Washington Nationals became a force to be reckoned with. While they’ve not made it past the NLDS yet, the Nationals earned a spot in the playoffs in 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2017. That’s darn impressive for a team that used to be known to struggle against circling the drain!

 

The Nationals of Tomorrow

The Nationals and their performance post-move prove anything’s possible, and the team is poised to make some real waves going forward!
