After a dismal 2008 season, the Washington Nationals are starting the 2009 season with nowhere to go but up. A big part of the problem is the team’s roster full of young, relatively inexperienced players, so adding veteran Adam Dunn (who has had 40-homer seasons every year since 2005), was an excellent choice. The pitching rotation has also received a boost, with the under-performing Tim Redding gone and the very promising Daniel Cabrera and Scott Olsen coming on. The 2009 season won’t be easy for the Nationals, but at least it won’t be boring, and the team needs fan support to be successful. Get your tickets to Nationals Park and help the Washington Nationals turn things around in 2009!

Move from Canada

Ironically, the latest team to represent our Nation’s capital began life as the first team to represent Canada. Originally the Montreal Expos when they were founded in 1969, the team proudly represented the history and tradition of baseball in Montreal - history that includes the first professional stop Jackie Robinson made on his way to breaking the color line in 1947.
