Washington Nationals Baseball Game at Nationals Park - Activities in Washington, DC

How to Celebrate the World Champion Nationals in Washington, DC

Share this


The Fall Classic lived up to its name as the Nationals Finished the Fight in Game 7 of the World Series. Here's how you can get in on the fun.

The nation’s capital has baseball fever, as the hometown Washington Nationals defeated the Houston Astros in their first World Series in franchise history. During the season, the Nationals found themselves at 12 games under .500, but persevered due to their mantra to #StayInTheFight. The team overcame great odds to claw their way to the Wild Card, a single-game playoff. After the first of many improbable comebacks, from the Wild Card game against the Brewers to the NLDS against the Dodgers to the NLCS against Cardinals, the team adjusted its motto to #FinishTheFight. And that's exactly what they did in Game 7 of the World Series in Houston on Oct. 30, 2019. Relive the magic season, hop on the bandwagon and celebrate the world champion Nationals in Washington, DC.
