For real. That was cool

Didn’t a woman get banned for life for flashing her tits at a World Series game? I think one was objectively more pleasing

I wonder if Trump's still gonna invite them to the White House for hamberders after getting booed at their stadium by their fans 😂

World? 🤣🤣🤣 USA Series Champions...

So its still called world series?

Awesome!!!!!!

*Montreal Expos

Trump wins again

Good job.

In watching CNN this morning. Congrats to the Nats, but why is it so important for CNN to point out how many Latinos on the team? Who is dividing?

Go Expos! Finally!

i dont watch baseball..sorry... but the nationals look like a cool bunch so well done..PPAAAARRRTTYYY

Congratulations 🥳🎉

Was this guy sitting next to Joe Bidden at the game?

Isn't that Racist?

Congratulations guys and God Bless. There had to be a winner.

Well done to the Nationals

Nice to add that history making record to the WorldSeries2019 win!

Trump is gonna say it was because he attended Game 5

Trump will try and take some credit.

I can remember going to Senators games in the 1950s when there were less than 1000 people in old Griffith Stadium.

Bryce Harper

Was rstacyusa 1059SUNNYFM correct in that the World Series is rigged? 🤔Domino1059 itsYourGrace

LOL. Good luck with being invited to the WH to meet the Orange one since he is probably steaming right now and throwing a tantrum.

What? The cheating Astros didn’t win?

Way to go.

'World' Series - lol.

Translation: America confirmed best baseball nation on earth after beating America

Tu garde tout pareil la croissance en moins

Congratulations to the Washington Nationals!!!

This is the first World Series victory are the new National /old Expos. I believe the Old Nationals won a World Series in the early 1930s

Typical Nigerian, even when there's peace u people still complain....

I think this is the Seventh Sign.

Was there a World Series game. Lol nobody cares.

The first World Series I've watched in 10 odd years. Did not disappoint.

Yeah but Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself

Houston, we have a problem

Houston, we have a problem

How sad I’m a Houston fan but they have no hitters with men on base so they deserved to lose

It’s Joe Bucks fault we lost. Bad mojo. Ha! Go Astros!

This is really awesome...first the hometeam audience boos trump out of the stadium,then they win the series! Good karma!

And cue the lazy, requisite 'Classless Rich Athletes Refuse to Visit White House' stories in 3...2...1...

Congrats Nationals! Well deserved! Oh,and f-k you Houston!!
