I've started dreaming of an I-95 World Series.

If you're talking O's-Nats, at least get your terminology right. It's "Beltway Series."

An I-95 series could be just about anything, given that it more or less runs through or right past Philly, New York, etc.

Marc train series, as the Beltway doesn't connect Baltimore to DC.

do you guys really claim to be fans of either of these teams?

Obviously the Beltway does not connect Baltimore to DC or vice versa, but both cities have their own notable Beltways (495 and 695). Hence the naming, which has entered into the common parlance.

Either that, or I just hastily put together this wikipedia page:

Well when AC said I-95 series it made me think of the 2000 WS which was considered a Subway series because you can take the subway to both stadiums. I would consider a series between the Nats and O's as either an I-95 series or a Marc train series, but not a Beltway Series.

Their core is a lot younger. I saw a comparison of Baltimore starting pitcher's ERA when Wieters catches. Its about a full run less than when Teagarden catches, also he's got 100 more innings behind the plate then the next closest catcher.
