Washington NationalsPast & Present Presentation by Sean Emerson
Why the Nationals My family has lived in Washington D.C. since the 1790s, and I was born in the District of Columbia Rooting for D.C. Sports teams is just natural for me My parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents rooted for the Washington Senators before the team moved away in the 1970s Baseball is my favorite sport to watch because it is played almost everyday, and because it is played during the summer
