Washington Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle is leaving D.C. to go play for the Cincinnati Reds. Though his time in the District was relatively short — just three and a half years — the hirsute, bespectacled ballplayer was beloved by many Washingtonians for his local advocacy work, Star Wars geekdom, and Twitter battles with his wife Eireann. Oh, and he was a pretty good ball player, too.
To bid him adieu, we've compiled our favorite moments of Doolittle's time in D.C. May the force be with you in Cincinnati, Sean.
