In baseball, you build a culture before you build a contender. That's how it felt in 2011 when the Washington Nationals changed from a team of losers to a club that battled to approach .500 at 80-81.
That club established the internal team accountability, and the sense of personal connection, that helped the Nats have nearly the best record in baseball over the next eight years.
