A COMEBACK FOR THE AGES

Not since 1924, when Calvin Coolidge was

in the White House, had a baseball team in

America’s capital won the World Series. But

on Oct. 30, with a 6-2 victory over the Houston

Astros in Game 7, the Washington Nationals

did. The Commissioner’s Trophy, hoisted

that night, mostly withstood the resulting

celebration in the victors’ clubhouse.
