Title A name given to the resource Baseball ribbons Description An account of the resource Some baseball clubs in the 1860s exchanged ribbons printed with their team names just before a game. Some players collected the ribbons on their uniforms, displaying all the teams they had faced. These ribbons are from the Washington Nationals and the Philadelphia Athletics. The <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/319">Nationals' home field was the Ellipse</a>, just south of the White House. <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/359">In 1865, the Nationals faced the Athletics in a tournament</a> which drew hundreds of spectators, including President Andrew Johnson. These ribbons may not be from that game, but they are from the collection of an early fan of Washington baseball.
