Gorman was a regular player for the "National" baseball club of Washington or Washington Nationals in 1865. The club was established 1859, joined the NABBP for 1861 and 1864, but 1865 is its first season lightly covered by the leading secondary sources on the league. All clubs outside greater New York dropped out during the war, but some presumably continued to practice and play locally.

August 28 and 29, the Nationals played road games "at" the Philadelphia Athletics and Brooklyn Atlantics, the strongest teams in Philadelphia and greater New York. The scale of other intercity tours that season was New York to the Mohawk River valley or Philadelphia to New York.

Gorman played both games. Limited records for the season show clearly that the Nationals were overmatched by "the best" and suggest that Gorman, in his mid-twenties and apparently well-matched with his teammates, would soon have been replaced for intercity competition at least. The club improved its team and undertook the first western tour (or "national" tour) in 1867. In 1866 Gorman was not among ten men known to play at least 5 of 15 games.

Source for game details and player records: Marshall Wright, The National Association of Base Ball Players (McFarland, 2002), pp 93, 106, 117 (club entries for 1864 to 1866). --P64 (talk) 00:40, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
