Washington Nationals

Owner: Nick Young

Nick Young operated the Washington Nationals as an amateur club from their founding in 1863 until 1869. When he decided to take the team pro, in 1870, he neither had nor attracted a huge influx of cash. So unlike some richer clubs, baseball in DC continues to operate on a budget. This isn't to say the Nationals aren't competitive. While never a champion during their amateur years, the Nationals were always a competitor. As he has in the past, Young will also act as the team's general manager. He did decide to step back from serving as the National's field manager, hiring Arthur Gorman to manage the club during the upcoming season.

Manager: Arthur Gorman
A popular player in the nation's capitol during the 1850s and 1860s who is said to be eyeing a possible future in politics. Gorman brings a lot of baseball smarts to the bench.

Despite not being awash in cash, the Nationals have managed to sign some prominent names as well as some young rising stars.

Dave Eggler -- A talented center fielder from Brooklyn. Eggler is very consistent with the bat and shows excellent range in the outfield. He also has good speed on the basepaths and is always a threat to steal a base.

Bobby Mathews -- A 19-year old newcomer who looks to be first-rate pitcher. Gorman says Mathews has mastered the new breaking or curve pitch.

Dan Casey -- A muscular giant of a youth from Troy, New York. At 19, he towers over most of his teammates, standing tall at 6'2" and weighing an even 200 lbs. At the plate, he swings a mammoth bat that some claim weighs-in at 58 ounces. All have marveled at the distance of his Herculean shots, leading some of his fellow Nationals to admiringly refer to him as "Mighty Casey."

Denny Mack -- A solid first baseman who brings a consistent bat to the lineup. Mack was once accused of game-fixing, but was later acquitted of any wrong-doing.
