Get ready to grieve a little more, New York Mets fans. Ever since the Milwaukee Brewers were eliminated from the 2019 postseason, it felt like the National League was filled with some of baseball’s greatest heels. At least, this is how fans of the orange and blue have felt.
In this year’s championship, the National League will be represented by the Washington Nationals. The Mets’ NL East rival goes to the final round of the postseason for the first time in the history of the franchise, dating back to their days as the Montreal Expos. Washington DC hasn’t had a World Series team since 1933, one year after Walter Johnson retired.
