| What Baseball Team Is In Washington Dc |
The Nationals Take the Field (Formerly Known As...)
That's right, folks, the team representing Washington D.C. in Major League Baseball is none other than the Washington Nationals. They've been around since 2005, bringing their A-game (and hopefully some decent puns) to Nationals Park.
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.
Now, some of you baseball aficionados out there might be thinking, "Hold on a minute, wasn't there another team in D.C. before the Nationals?" You'd be right! Baseball history in Washington is a bit of a rollercoaster ride, but for the sake of keeping this post shorter than a nine-inning game, let's just say the Nationals are the current champions of the capital.
Tip: Bookmark this post to revisit later.
Fun Facts That Won't Get You Kicked Out of the Park (Probably)
- The Nationals actually started their lives as the Montreal Expos, all the way back in 1969. Guess they were feeling a little maple-syrupy!
- Their mascot is a red curly-haired critter named Teddy Roosevelt. No, seriously. It's a thing.
- They won their first (and so far only) World Series title in 2019, which was a pretty big deal for D.C. sports fans (trust me, we don't get those very often).
So You Want to See the Nationals Play?
Think you might be ready to cheer on the home team? Excellent choice! Here's a quick rundown for the newbie baseball fan:
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.

- Head to Nationals Park: This beauty of a stadium is located in the Southeast quadrant of the city. Take the Metro or snag a rideshare to get there.
- Brush up on the basics: A basic understanding of strikes, balls, and outs will do wonders. Nobody wants to be the one asking "Why'd everyone just stand up?"
- Embrace the fun: Baseball is all about hot dogs, peanuts, the seventh-inning stretch singalong, and (of course) cheering on your team! Don't be afraid to get a little loud (within reason, of course).
