When President Calvin Coolidge was told that George Halas and the Chicago Bears were visiting the White House, he supposedly said: “Oh good! I love animal acts!”

The Atlantic Base Ball Club of Brooklyn ("Atlantic" or the "Brooklyn Atlantics") was baseball's first champion and its first dynasty. The team was also the first baseball club to visit the White House in 1865 at the invitation of President Andrew Johnson.
You asked. The team declared themselves professional four years later but they were not amateurs.
