Nationals trivia quiz: Postseason

After clinching their first National League pennant in October, the Nationals had to wait six days before taking the field again for Game 1 of the World Series. Our break between re-watches of the NL Championship Series and World Series won't be that long, but we are going to take a couple of days off before diving back into the epic, seven-game showdown with the Astros.

In the meantime, here's the second installment of Nats Trivia. (If you missed the first one last week, on the history of opening day, you can test yourself out here.)

This trivia quiz is all about the Nationals' postseason history (the NL Division Series in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2017, then the full run in 2019). There are 20 questions in total, some more difficult than others. Answers are listed in order at the bottom, so be careful not to scroll too far if you don't want to see them before you've had a chance to answer all 20 questions.

Enjoy!
