This is the Nationals鈥� first time in the World Series, and many residents feel like they have a stake in this series.

One long-time fan John Atwood remembers when the Nationals were called the Senators. Win or lose, he said he鈥檚 still proud of his team and has been waiting for a moment like this for a long time.

鈥淲hen I was a kid, I went to the Senators games in the late 1960s before they left for Texas,鈥� he said. 鈥淔or them to gradually rise to the point where they finally made it to the World Series it’s something I and Washington baseball fans have been waiting for for a lifetime.鈥�

D.C. resident Michael Holler said the Nationals have never been the team favored to win and thinks they still have time to make a comeback.

鈥淚f we end up losing, that鈥檚 a tough one. I mean I think kind of going into this series is that we were the wildcard coming in, there is an element of the kind of like the underdog vibe,鈥� Holler said.

While all the hype seems to be revolving around the Nationals, the Washington Capitals had a historic run last year that resulted in their first-ever championship title in the Stanley Cup.

And a similar feat happened much earlier this year with the Washington Mystics when they won their first-ever championship, but many D.C. residents didn鈥檛 seem to care as much.

D.C. resident John Atwood said the Mystics deserve a lot more recognition than they received.

鈥淚鈥檓 disappointed. You know they won the title here in D.C. I do think they deserved a better reaction then they got,鈥� Atwood said.

The Nats will face the Astros in game six of the series tonight, in Houston.
