First ever World Series appearance for the Washington Nationals in franchise history.
Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez was ejected in Game 6, the last manager to be ejected in a World Series was Bobby Cox in Game 6 of 1996 World Series (1996), and Game 3 of the 1992 World Series (1992).
The first World Series, and the first seven game series in any major American sports league, where all the games were won by the visiting team.
The Washington Nationals swept the St. Louis Cardinals in four games to secure their first pennant in franchise history (including their time as the Montreal Expos from 1969 to 2004) as well as the first World Series appearance for a Washington, D.C., team since 1933.
Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez played with the Montreal Expos from 1988-1991 before the team moved to Washington D.C. in 2004 and became the Nationals.
