After watching the World Series the past few nights and watching former beloved Nationals starter Max Scherzer still dealing at the age of 41, it's hard not to get flashbacks of better days with the Washington Nationals. Just 6 years ago, around this time, the team was on the verge of going to a winner-take-all Game 7 in Houston, and now there is almost nobody left in the organization from that time.
Of course, back on this day in 2019, World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg was the star of the night and the series, saving the Nationals from the brink of elimination after the team somehow managed to lose all 3 games at home in Washington before heading back to Houston for what everyone thought would be their funeral in Game 6.
