There is, however, another entire strain of happiness that has caught me by surprise. There is a middle generation that never saw either version of the old Senators but is overjoyed to share this new winning Washington Nationals experience with both their parents and their own kids. It’s as though the 25-to-50 bunch sees itself as a natural link between those who lost the team(s) of their youth and their own kids who now have a home team worth loving to bond with from the beginning.
Thomas Boswell nails what the Nats mean to those of us who weren’t around when the Senators still played in DC and grew up without a baseball team closer than Baltimore or Atlanta.
