Washington Nationals Information
The Washington Nationals are an American professional baseball team based in Washington, D.C. The Nationals compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the National League (NL) East division. From 2005 to 2007, the team played in RFK Stadium while their permanent stadium was being built. In 2008, they moved into Nationals Park, located on South Capitol Street in D.C.'s Southeast quadrant, near the Anacostia River.
The Nationals are the eighth major league franchise to be based in Washington, D.C. and the first since 1971. The current franchise was founded in 1969 as the Montreal Expos as part of the MLB expansion. After a failed contraction plan, the Expos were purchased by MLB, which sought to relocate the team to a new city. Washington, D.C. was chosen in 2004, and the Nationals were established in 2005 as the first franchise relocation in MLB since the third Washington Senators moved to Texas in 1971.
While the team initially struggled after moving to Washington, the Nationals had considerable success throughout the 2010s. The team had two back-to-back first overall picks in the MLB draft in 2009 and 2010, where they drafted Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper. The team secured their first playoff berth and the first division title in 2012. They won the National League East again in 2014, 2016, and 2017 but failed to advance past the NLDS each time. In 2019, the team advanced to the World Series, where they defeated the Houston Astros in seven games to earn their first championship.
From 1969-2020, the Nationals' overall win-loss record is 4,003-4,183 (.489)
