I’ve been thinking lately how sad it is that the Nats and their fans aren’t getting their victory lap this season. You know, stuff like having their line up announced as “the World Series Champion Washington Nationals” each game. Stuff like having a full year of being featured in the World Series exhibit at the HOF. The HOF has been closed since March. So we have some weird shortened season and some other team is crowned WS Champs, and the HOF reopens in October and immediately takes down the 2019 WS exhibit and installs the 2020 one so hardly anyone gets to see the Nats champion exhibit. Stuff like having World Champion signs and banners all through the Park (“GEICO salutes the World Champion Washington Nationals”).
No banner raising yet. Hell, they don’t even have their rings yet. I had tix to the Nats @ Angels game tomorrow night in Anaheim. I thought the Angels might have something like a quick pre-game ceremony for Rendon to get his ring from his former team. All shot to hell.
Just started thinking about this stuff lately and feeling bummed about it. I know there are a lot of real problems in the world right now and in the scheme of things this is minor, but it still feels like we aren’t going to enjoy the reigning WS champion year like we should have.
