Description

"In the fall of 1859, two separate groups of government workers met in Washington and formed the area's first base baseball clubs, the Potomac and the Nationals."

Morris, Base Ball Pioneers, p. 271, says the Nationals informally played starting May of 1859 but didn't formally organize as the Nationals until Nov. 29th. James Morrow was president, Joseph L. Wright VP, future senator Arthur Pue Gorman Secy. Morrow was a clerk in the govt. Pension Office, Wright the Official Doorkeeper of the U.S.House, Gorman another govt. clerk.

In 1864, the National Club was a member of the NABBP. M. Wright, The NABBP, page 93.

A good article on the Nationals 1867 tour of the west is: Ryan Swanson, "Cleaning up the Wild and Wooly West:" The Washington Nationals' 1867 Baseball Tour Through the Ohio Valley," Ohio Valley History, vol. 15 no. 3 (Fall 2015) pp. 23-42.

Washington's population in 1860 was about 75,000. It was the 14th largest city in the US.

Win/Loss Records As Far As We Now Know

Warning: Users should not rely on a team's won-loss record as a reflection of its "standing" among all base ball clubs. Team schedules were not balanced, and a good record against mostly weak opponents does not signify a leading club.
