I remember the first new era Washington Nationals series against the New York Yankees like it was yesterday. Played at RFK Stadium from June 16-18, 2006, the series not only produced the most memorable Nats moment since baseball’s glorious return to the nation’s capital, but also marked a passing of the torch for this baseball fan.
