Swampoodle Grounds

Swampoodle Grounds was the home of the Washington Nationals baseball team of the National League from 1886 to 1889. The park was named for the Swampoodle neighborhood. The right field and the infield are now part of Union Station (Washington, D.C.), and left field is now the Main Post Office. Swampoodle Grounds held 6,000. The Washington Statesmen folded after the end of the 1889 season.
