Washington Nationals' GM on making it to the World Series for the first time in almost 90 years

On the eve of the third game of the Fall Classic, the Washington National's general manager and president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo sat down with ABC News' "Powerhouse Politics" hosts after securing two World Series wins in Houston.

Washington hasn't seen a World Series for nearly 90 years -- since 1933. When asked about what it means to have the Nats break through in a city where politics is its own sport, Rizzo weighed how the politics and power of the nation's capital have elevated the significance of this series.

"It's an incredible story -- we had a 0.1% chance of winning the National League pennant," Rizzo told ABC News' Political Director Rick Klein and Chief White House Correspondent Jonathon Karl. "The prognosticators didn't factor in or analyze the heart of this club."
