There was a lot of hype on Stephen Strasburg and, imo, he exceeded those expectations. Yes, the injuries and TOS robbed him of a hall of fame career, but when he was out there, he was electric.

I was there on 6/8/10 for his debut and besides 2018-19, this was the best event (in general) I ever attended. That game brought hope for the Nats and DC and it paid off with sustained success in the 2010s which cumulate with the 2019 World Series.

Stras is the most important National ever #cososports
