With recent championships by the Washington Capitals, Washington Mystics, Washington Brigade and now the Washington Nationals, all in the last 16 months, Washington D.C. truly has officially become Title Town, USA! Many of the Washington Capitals players reached out to the newest member of the District Of Champions via social media Wednesday night, to congratulate the kings of baseball, on winning the 2019 World Series.

No team in @MLB history had ever trailed in 4 elimination games in a single #Postseason and come back to win them all.

Max Scherzer smiled and sipped his Budweiser when asked if the Nationals would match the way the Capitals partied after their Stanley Cup title: “We’ll try.”
