Juan Soto sat front row at Dodger Stadium to cheer on former teammates Trea Turner and Max Scherzer in playoff game

The Washington Nationals essentially eliminated themselves from playoff contention in late July by trading away stars Trea Turner and Max Scherzer to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Nats would end up finishing dead last in the National League East and own the fifth-worst record in baseball.

None of that has stopped their young, phenom outfielder Juan Soto from enjoying the postseason though as he was in attendance in LA to watch his former teammates play an NL Wild Card game against the St. Louis Cardinals. And oh yeah, he was wearing his World Series ring.

Six new Washington Nationals banner ceremony bobbleheads have been released featuring championship rings

The Washington Nationals were supposed to celebrate their World Series championship last week at Nats Park. On Thursday (April 2), the Nats were going to reveal their championship banner during their home opener. The team then planned to present players with their championship rings two days later. The coronavirus pandemic robbed us of both of those games, but not the bobbleheads that were made to commemorate those events.

World Series champion Adam Eaton released a photo of FOCO’s latest series of Nationals’ championship bobbleheads on his Instagram account. This design celebrates the Nationals banner ceremony and championship rings and gives hints at what both will look like. Eaton is immortalized in resin as well as star players Max Scherzer (yes, both eyes are different colors), Stephen Strasburg, Juan Soto, Ryan Zimmerman, and Howie Kendrick.

Nats fans can purchase the bobbleheads through this link.
