Washington Nationals: Could They Join Historic Offensive Ranks?

The Washington Nationals are having a bad baseball year. However, the Washington Nationals have a chance to do something pretty hysterical. They may have a chance to join the 1931 Yankees. Okay, the 1931 Yankees had an unbelievable roster. Now, I think I said the 27 Yankees in the beginning, so I apologize. Not the 27 Yankees, but the 31 Yankees. The 31 Yankees. That was Babe Ruth. That was Lou Gehrig. They went 94-59. They had an AL record 1,067 runs scored and a plus 307 run differential. That's the seventh best since 1920. When you're watching baseball, do you put the Washington Nationals in the same category as the 1931 New York Yankees? Because I don't. However, that's exactly where the Nats could be. The 52, 53, and 55 Dodgers also did this, where they led Major League Baseball in runs, home runs, and steals in the same season. They currently lead Major League Baseball with 670 runs. They have 180 home runs and 135 stolen bases. They could be the fifth team in the history of Major League Baseball to accomplish this feat if they keep it going with six weeks left.
