Anthony Rendon, who is now a free agent, talked during the World Series about how he and his teammates battled back from their 19-31 start to the season to reach the postseason and ultimately win it all this year.
As he explained it, he and the rest of the Washington Nationals circled the wagons after the struggles during the first 50 games, and they were defying those who doubted the team from late May on, through the end of Game 7 of the Fall Classic.
‘I’d go back further than just the postseason, for sure, when everyone started doubting us probably the middle of the year when everyone goes back to 19-31,” Rendon said.
