It’s time for the Nationals to #finishthefight. The World Series starts Tuesday, October 22, and as you’d expect, there are plenty of creative specials, all-day happy hours, and watch parties. The team is also opening the doors to Nationals Park for free on Tuesday and Wednesday so fans can catch the game on the Jumbotron (parking is also free, while concessions are priced individually per usual).
