Since the 19th century, there have been numerous professional baseball teams in D.C.

Numerous major league teams played in Washington in the 19th century.
The National Association Washington Olympics played in 1871 and 1872.
The National Association Washington Nationals (NA) played in 1872.
The National Association Washington Blue Legs played in 1873.
The National Association Washington Nationals (NA) (a new incarnation) played in 1875.
The Union Association Washington Nationals (UA) played in 1884.
The American Association Washington Nationals played in 1884.
The National League Washington Nationals (1886–1889).
Washington Senators (1891–1899): the American Association Washington Statesmen of 1891 became the National League Washington Senators of 1892–1899. The American Association was incorporated into the NL after 1891 and its Washington club continued operation in the combined League.

More recently:
There have been several baseball teams that have played as the Washington Senators, including:

an American League baseball team based in Washington, D.C. from 1901 to 1960, that moved to Minneapolis-St. Paul in 1961 and became the Minnesota Twins.
another American League baseball team that played from 1961 to 1971, then moved to Dallas-Fort Worth for the 1972 season and became the Texas Rangers.
And now, the Nationals again.
