VIDEO: Nats' Sean Doolittle Swinging Lightsaber Behind Live MLB Network Broadcast is Next-Level
By Scott Rogust
The Washington Nationals shocked the world on Tuesday night, sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals to win their first-ever National League pennant en route to the 2019 World Series. That gave this Nats team plenty of reasons to celebrate, and hoisting the trophy and drinking seemingly endless amounts of alcohol became the top priority. But nobody showed off their pure joy more than reliever Sean Doolittle, who crashed an MLB Network broadcast and showed off some lightsaber moves.
This is the best preview of "The Rise of Skywalker" we've seen to date.
Doolittle showed off his Jedi weapon numerous times throughout the season. The "Star Wars" mainstay made appearances after Washington clinched the NL Wild Card berth, defeating the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Wild Card Game, and after upsetting the heavily-favored Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS.
This is exactly why Doolittle earned the nickname "Obi-Sean Kenobi" now and forever.
There's no denying it. The Washington Nationals and Sean Doolittle have the high ground in the National League. Everyone else is Anakin.
