When the Washington Nationals shocked their adversaries and the world by beating the favorited Houston Astros in a thrilling seven-game World Series, the man whose contribution stood out noticeably was surprisingly calm. Washington third baseman Anthony Rendon seemed unfazed by all the attention paid to him, remaining modest as ever and deferring credit to his faith.
As Nationals’ general manager Mike Rizzo said to USA Today, “It epitomized who Anthony Rendon is when in (Game 6), when almost everybody’s losing their minds, he was yawning in the batter’s box and hit a home run two pitches later.”
