We all know about 1924. Was it luck that Hank Gowdy stepped on his mask? Or luck that Walter Johnson came in with no rest to pitch four scoreless relief innings? Or does that even out the bad luck in 1925 that Johnson pitched with a pulled hamstring?
The 2012 - 2019 Nats had strong teams. Any of them could have won it all. Even 2018: think of an outfield with Harper, and Soto, and infield with Rendon and Turner and Murphy. Even 2015, when the Nats had Strasburg, Scherzer, Zimmermann, Fister, and Gio.
