Life

He was previously the national baseball writer at the Post. Earlier in his career he was the first beat reporter for the Washington Nationals upon the return of baseball to Washington, DC. He wrote a book, National Pastime, about the Nationals' first season in DC. He later covered the Washington Redskins and he has been a regular member of the Post's Olympic coverage team. While on the Nationals beat, he blogged at the Nationals Journal. The blog dissects and analyzes all things Nationals several times daily.

As beat writer, Svrluga was present the night Barry Bonds hit is 756th home run and wrote the companion piece from the perspective of Nationals starting pitcher Mike Bacsik to Washington Post reporter Dave Sheinin's account of the record breaking home run.[1]

Svrluga attended Duke University.

gollark: > I want the scientists in society to have a place to exist too.I mean, I don't disagree, but just "give whoever rents it first a freeish house" doesn't seem like a good mechanism for that. Unless you mean they do "give whoever they find cool a freeish house", which is... also bad in other ways.
