Washington was continuously home to a major league baseball team from 1901 until 1971. Two separate franchises alternated between the nicknames "Senators" and "Nationals" and sometimes used the names interchangeably.

The team was officially named the "Nationals" until 1956 but was commonly referred to as the "Senators" beginning in 1905. In 1961, this team moved to Minneapolis-St. Paul and became the Minnesota Twins. In 1961 a new officially named "Senators" expansion team began play in Washington immediately following the departure of the former franchise. In 1972, this team moved to Dallas-Fort Worth and became the Texas Rangers.

This lot features (8) Washington Nationals and Senators yearbooks ranging from 1953-1968. Years include:

1953 Nationals
1956 Nationals
1961 Senators - 1st Year
1964 Senators
1965 Senators
1966 Senators
1967 Senators
1968 Senators

These yearbooks show some light wear as shown in photos but are in good condition overall.
