Go Nats!
by
Jim ShahinBy contrast, the Cubs, whose fans claim to be the longest suffering, have won two World Series. In addition, the Cubs have appeared in nine World Series, compared with Washington’s three. And the Cubs made it to the Series more recently, in 1945.
Oh, and for a quarter century, dating from 1924, the Senators had only two winning seasons.
Meanwhile, since moving to
Texas, the team has not once appeared in a World Series. And the emigrating Expos, since becoming a team in 1969, haven’t either.
What does all this mean? That the
Washington franchise is bad enough to crow that it is the most hapless in
baseball history. When tossing in the histories of the two teams revolving around it, it holds a record for wretchedness that would take a miracle to break.
To which I can only say that miracles do happen. And although it may sound funny, I’ll say it anyway: Go Nats!
