Washington Nationals principal owner Ted Lerner dies at 97. Story:
After the team spent its first three seasons playing at RFK Stadium following its move from Montreal, Lerner supervised the construction of a publicly fundednew home, Nationals Park, along the banks of the Anacostia River.
Bolstered by the drafting of future stars Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper – and Lerner's willingness to pay them sizable bonuses – the Nationals grew from perennial doormat to playoff contender, winning four NL East titles in six years from 2012-2017.The team finally broke through – ironically the year Harper left as a free agent to sign with the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies – in 2019.
Led by Strasburg and Max Scherzer on the mound and Ryan Zimmerman, Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto at the plate, the Nationals made the postseason as a wild card team. A comeback victory over the Brewers in a one-game playoff, an upset of the Dodgers in the NL division series and a sweep of the Cardinals in the NL championship series put the Nationals into the World Series against the heavily favored Houston Astros.
Falling behind three games to two and needing to win two in a row in Houston, the Nationals completed the comeback to give the team, the city and the Lerner family a long-awaited championship.
