In 2019, the Washington Nationals won the World Series, becoming the champions of Major League Baseball (MLB). I have lived in the DC area my entire life and even attended one of the National League Championship Series games prior to the World Series. The celebrations afterward were jubilant, as they should have been. The previous year, the Washington Capitals had won the NHL Stanley Cup so it was a good time to be a sports fan in Washington - especially after years of futility and embarrassment from all of its major professional teams.
Great stuff, Bill!
