Washington Nationals The Washington Nationals are an American professional baseball team based in Washington, D.C., US. The Nationals are a member of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's National League. From 2005 to 2007, the Nationals played in Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium. The team began playing at a new stadium, Nationals Park, on March 30, 2008. In the inaugural game, Ryan Zimmerman hit a walk off home-run in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Nationals over the Atlanta Braves by a final score of 3-2. The "Nationals" name originates from the two former Washington baseball teams who held the same name (used interchangeably with "Senators"). They are nicknamed "the Nats", a shortened version of the Nationals name that was also used by the old D.C. teams. An expansion franchise, the club was founded in Montreal, Quebec in 1969. Then the Montreal Expos, the team was the first major league team in Canada, and played its home games at Jarry Park, then later, in Olympic Stadium.
