The Nationals’ win in the World Series Game 7 marked the sixth straight year that a team achieved the World Series title while on the road, including four times that a Game 7 was won by the visiting team. Additionally, for the first time in North American sports history, the visiting team won all seven games of a best-of-seven postseason series. During postgame ceremonies, Washington's Stephen Strasburg was presented with the World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award, the first time a former No. 1 overall draft pick earned the award.
