| The Washington Nationals are a professional baseball team based in Washington, D.C.. The Nationals compete in Major League Baseball as a member club of the NL East division. Their home stadium has been Nationals Park, located on South Capitol Street in the Southeast quadrant of D.C..
The current NL club was founded in 1969 as the Montreal Expos, part of the MLB expansion. The Expos were purchased by MLB in 2002 after a failed contraction plan, and the team was moved to Washington, D.C., and named the Nationals before the 2005 season, marking the first franchise relocation in MLB since the third Washington Senators moved to Texas in 1971.
While the team initially struggled after moving to Washington, the Nationals had considerable success throughout the 2010s, winning the 2019 World Series, their first, in addition to four division titles. The team's two overall first picks in the MLB draft, Stephen Strasburg in 2009 and Bryce Harper in 2010, attracted new levels of attention to the team. Harper became the youngest position player to be selected to the MLB All-Star Game, while Strasburg was named the 2019 World Series MVP.
