Who won the 1919 World Series?
What baseball team has never won a championship?
Washington Nationals*/Montreal Expos
Seattle Mariners
* There have been two MLB teams that have gone by the name "Washington Nationals". The first one began play in 1901 and was, at different times, and by different people, called both the "Nationals" and the "Senators". It is pointless to say what their "official" name was because back then, team nicknames were, well, just nicknames. At any rate, this team called Washington, DC home from 1901 to 1960, and they DID participate in 3 World Series, winning one. After the 1960 season, they left DC and became the Minnesota Twins, and have participated in 3 more World Series since, winning two of them.?
When the team left in 1960, MLB had an expansion the next year, and the NEW Washington Senators came into being. This team is separate and distinct from the OLD Washington Senators/Nationals. But after just 11 seasons in DC, this team too moved, this time to Texas, where they became the Rangers, and finally, in their 50th season, reached the World Series in 2010.
The Montreal Expos began play in 1969, and called Montreal home through the 2004 season. In 2005, they moved to Washington, DC and changed their name to the "Nationals". They never made it to the World Series from either location, and in fact never won a FULL season divisional race (they won the second half of the 1981 season National League, East Division race). 1994 was a promising year for them, until the season was cut short by a player's strike. Again, though, this is NOT the same team as the team that played in Washington from 1901 to 1960 and, occasionally, called themselves the Nationals.
