Teddy Roosevelt’s 2019 season mirrored that of the Nationals. The Bull Moose lost the first 8 races of the season, and didn’t start his big run until May 24, when the Nationals had one of the worst records in the league at 19-31. By the end of the regular season, the Nationals were in the playoffs, Teddy Roosevelt had run away with the presidents race season title, and remarkably, for the first time, every racing president’s wins correlated to a winning team record for the Nationals. Teddy’s victories correlated with an 8-game playoff winning streak, though the World Series was a different story, with the Nats losing all three of their home contests. Still, the team came through in Houston, and both the Nationals and Teddy finished the season as champions.
