With all the controversy about championship teams visiting the White House (Patriots without Brady scheduled to visit today), what was the first team to be honored in the White House: who, when, and under what Prez?

Hint: surprisingly early
 
Okay, the answer that I read that inspired this:
In 1865: President Andrew Johnson (later impeached but not convicted) welcomed the Brooklyn Athletics to the White House.
 
Brooklyn. First, last and always.
