The 2019 Major League Baseball was memorable for many reasons including the unforgettable Washington Nationals winning the World Series one season after losing their franchise player Bryce Harper, the Most Valuable Player seasons of Mike Trout and Cody Bellinger, and two different international series in both Japan and Mexico.
