Washington Nationals Tickets

The Washington Nationals are one of the most recent additions to Major League Baseball league. However the history of the franchise dates back to the days of the Montreal Expos who were the first major league team in Canada.

The team featured All Star third baseman Ryan Zimmerman who helped entertain Washington Nationals ticket buyers by slugging 33 home runs, scoring 110 runs with an outstanding total of 106 RBIs at the end of the year. The big moment during the year was when Zimmerman posted a 30 game hitting streak early in the season joining baseball legends Rico Cary and George Sisler as the only players since 1900 to keep a streak alive so early in a new season. Zimmerman was in the top 10 in many offensive categories at the end of the season and for 2010 he will certainly be considered as one of the most exciting players to check out.

Nationals Fun Facts:

'¢ All Star player Ryan Zimmerman and Adam Dunn wore jerseys that misspelled the team's name as the 'Natinals' during a game in April of 2009. The players later switched to correctly spelled jerseys in the 3rd inning.
'¢ Nationals slugger Josh Willingham hit two grand slams in a single game against the Milwaukee Brewers in 2009. The first dinger was hit off of pitcher Jeff Suppan and the second against Mark DiFelice. The feat made Willingham only the 13th player in Major League Baseball history to do it.
'¢ In 2009, the Nationals became the first team ever to start a season losing 7 in a row and the then win 7 in a row to close out the year.
'¢ Ted Lerner took the reigns of the Nationals in 2006 and hired Stan Kasten as the new team president who was the brilliant architect of the Atlanta Braves during their run of 14 division titles. So beware of the Nationals because knowing Kasten, these guys are up to something.
