Their top hitter was
shortstop
Frank Fennelly
, who went 75-for-257, a
batting average
of .292. By far their best pitcher was
Bob Barr
, who was 9?23 with an
ERA

This team should not be confused with the other 1884
Washington Nationals

Union Association
during its only year of operation.
In 1891, the AA had
another team
in Washington, which moved to the National League in 1892.
