Washington Nationals: Plan to Make 2017 World Series

The Washington Nationals have never been to the World Series.

During their years in Montreal as the Expos, they never won the National League pennant. Despite three NL East championships in five years, these Nats have yet to win a playoff series.

Oh, the last time Washington made a World Series was in 1933. Those Nationals left town for Minnesota in 1961. The expansion Senators never made the playoffs here, waiting until the 1990s and their new sauna of a home in Arlington.

When Wrigley Field hosts Game 3 of the 2016 World Series, the Chicago Cubs 71-year drought for hosting a World Series game will end and the team with the longest hosting drought turns to the Nationals/Expos and their 48 years of futility.
