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.

10. That time he got us all obsessed with the Nats’ dumb bullpen cart.

Doolittle was the first — and only — Nationals pitcher to ride in the goofy-looking bullpen cart when it was introduced in the 2018 season. His teammates might’ve been afraid of looking silly, but not him. Who passes up a free ride? (Other players later got on board.)

9. All the times he talked about how much he loves reading.

Doolittle famously loves a good book (particularly fantasy novels). In an interview with Washingtonian he name dropped Busboys and Poets, Solid State Books, and Kramerbooks. “Those are places we go probably more often than we should,” he said.

And back in 2018, he was among the local celebrities who told The Kojo Nnamdi Show he was spending the summer reading a few classics, including The Jungle, Grapes of Wrath, and a short story collection from Anton Chekhov. “I really enjoy reading fiction and my wife, who is much smarter than I am, makes sure I’ve read the classics that I probably should have read by now,” he said.

8. That time he was mistaken for a Capitol Hill Books employee

When Doolittle visited the indie bookstore last January, a customer asked if he worked there. Co-owner Kyle Burk told DCist the pitcher was a good sport about it. “I think I answered for him saying, ‘No, but we’re trying to sign him,'” Burk said. “And Sean laughed.”

7. That time he was on “Kojo For Kids“

Doolittle kicked off the Kojo Show‘s weekly series for kids last April. He fielded tough questions like “Why did you choose number 63?” “What did you do to practice pitching when you were ten?” and “How do you get along with conservative teammates?” Listen to the segment to hear his answers.

6. That time he was a guest on his wife’s fake talk show

This video confirms why we all desperately want to be part of Sean and Eireann’s relationship. Sean tries to talk about his favorite fantasy books while Eireann makes fun of his clothes and bugs him about the laundry. You love to see it.

5. That time he did an interview with a lightsaber.

Doolittle loves a lightsaber so very, very much. One time he even photobombed an MLB broadcast by waving a lightsaber around in the background until the sportscasters paid attention to him.

4. That time he and Eireann advocated for LGBTQ+ youth in D.C.

Back in 2018, he pair advocated for SMYAL DMV, a local organization that provides safe spaces for LGBTQ+ kids, and helped get the word out about Night OUT, a fundraiser for LGBTQ+ causes at Nats Park.

3. That time he spoke out against fellow ballplayers using insensitive language.

When offensive tweets from major leaguers surfaced in 2018 — including from Nationals infielder Trea Turner that used homophobic slurs and racist language — Doolittle both publicly condemned their behavior and offered a path forward. “Between all the people you meet and the places you go, there is a lot of opportunity for personal growth in baseball. It’s entirely possible that those old posts no longer reflect that person’s views,” he tweeted. “But actions will speak louder than words.” Turner and other players later apologized.

2. That time he wrote a classy, heartfelt breakup letter to Washington.

At the end of last season, Doolittle wrote a letter to Nats fans announcing that he wouldn’t be in D.C. for the next season. “It was a privilege to wear the curly W and play for you at Nats Park. Baseball is a small world, so I look forward to our paths crossing again soon.” We’re not crying, you’re crying.

1. That time he, you know, won the World Series.

After the Nats won the Series in 2019, Doolittle celebrated by donning ski goggles, spraying champagne around the clubhouse, waving around a light saber and shrieking like a banshee. As you do.

Or, we should say, as you Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
