Anthony Rendon

The Washington Nationals reunited on Zoom to watch themselves win the World Series. These were the best moments.

The Washington Nationals’ World Series champion team reunited on Zoom to re-watch Game Seven of the World Series, Tuesday night. Hosted by MASN’s Dan Kolko and Nats’ first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, the players tuned in from their homes around the world and hung out live to benefit Zimmerman’s newly created charity, Pros For Heroes. By the end of the night, the Nats had raised over $200,000 for charity.

The Nats’ Zoom reunion was was unfiltered, fun, and honest. It was as if we were a fly on the wall of a private clubhouse party and we were hearing all the juicy parts.

From making fun of the Astros’ cheating to Brian Dozier ripping off his shirt (again), these were the best moments.

Adam Eaton raises money for young cancer patients with second annual charity car show, Rev Up The Park

Adam Eaton’s first season with the Washington Nationals didn’t go as planned. After suffering a season-ending injury just one month into the 2017 season, Eaton spent a majority of his first year in DC behind the scenes rehabbing. Even though he wasn’t playing on the field, Eaton became a fan favorite, sharing his passions and hobbies with Nationals fans.

One of Eaton’s biggest passions, cars, led to a car show, appropriately named Rev Up The Park, in the parking deck just outside Nationals Park last August. On Saturday, Eaton hosted his second annual event.

The down-to-earth outfielder chatted with fans while admiring some sweet rides.
