With the Washington Nationals‘ season now over, there are plenty of rumors and discussion surrounding the team. To get some insight on a few of these topics, I had the great opportunity of talking with Tom Boswell, a columnist for the Washington Post.
Boswell, who is regarded as the dean of Washington sports journalism, has been writing for the Post since 1969. He has also worked alongside luminaries, such as Shirley Povich, whose name adorns the Nationals Park press box.
To begin, we discussed the pain that comes with being a Washington sports fan. With the Nats’ NLDS loss, the Nats, Redskins, Capitals, and Wizards have now combined to go 69 consecutive seasons without reaching a league championship.
