Jim Riggleman Calls Nats His ‘Dream Job’
The 57-year-old Rockville native, who grew up a Senators fan, called this his “dream” job.

It’s Washington baseball. It’s the dream of a lifetime to grow up watching a ballclub and then to end up playing or managing for that ballclub. It just couldn’t end up better for me.”
It’s always easier to land your dream job when your dream isn’t shared by many. But that’s OK! One man’s trash is another man’s managerial opportunity. We don’t judge.
