In 1884, Washington was an expansion team in the American Association. But, the team fared poorly and folded after its August 2nd home loss to the NY Metropolitans, who got 3 runs in the 9th to win by a score of 6 - 5. Here's Washington's game schedule for 1884 along with a scored scorecard for Washington's final game. What I find to be especially interesting is that the original owner of these items hand noted the disbanding of the team on both of them:
