VIDEO: Sean Doolittle Claps Back at Those Who Mocked Nationals for Having Camels at Spring Training
By Jerry Trotta
The Washington Nationals were busy getting rowdy at their World Series parade on Saturday with Adam Eaton absorbing the early headlines by getting to make his renowned dugout celebration a reality. You just had to know, however, that Sean Doolittle and his unique personality would come through with something special before long. Well, the Nationals left-handed reliever lived up to his billing as he delivered a special message to the swarm of individuals that lambasted Washington for brining camels to Spring Training.
Sean Doolittle and the 2019 Washington Nationals are #WorldSeries champions.

Take that haters! Not only did the Nats win the World Series after bringing camels to Spring Training, but the team clinched their Game 7 victory on hump day. You can't possibly argue these camels didn't inspire that Game 7 performance.
Sean Doolittle: “I have a brother-in-law who has autism...How would I explain that to him that I hung out with somebody who mocked the way that he talked, or the way that he moves his hands? I can’t get past that stuff.”https://t.co/B8sLqc6u1D

He won't be joining his teammates at the White House on Monday, being the first player on the Nats to have declined President Trump's invite.
All that's left for Doolittle to do now is reap the spoils because his Nationals finally got over the hump and are the kings of the baseball world for the first time in franchise history.
