About Washington Nationals Club
The Washington Nationals (nicknamed The Nats) are a Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise based in Washington, D.C. The original Washington Nationals (more commonly known as the Senators) moved to Minneapolis in 1961 becoming the Minnesota Twins. Prior to the 2005 season, the current Nationals team played in Montréal as the Montréal Expos. The team's relocation was the first in Major League Baseball since 1972, when the Washington Senators moved to Texas, becoming the Texas Rangers. The franchise has been owned by Major League Baseball since 2002, although on May 3, 2006, a new ownership group was selected. Theodore N. Lerner has agreed to pay Baseball's price of $450 million for the franchise and the league has said it will fast-track the Lerners' approval process and vote on the Nationals' purchaser in time for the league's next owners' meeting May 17-18 in New York. Lerner is expected to take possession in June.
The Nationals are a member of the National League's Eastern Division (both previous Nationals/Senators teams played in the American League), and they currently play at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, which was previously the ballpark for the second Senators team. The team is expected to move into a new ballpark, located in Southeast D.C. near the Anacostia River and with views of the Capitol building, in the spring of 2008.
