Dear Fans:
Welcome back to the ballpark as we start our 106th season of Appalachian League baseball and 60th
season as an advanced rookie league.
Win or lose, you, the fans, have helped the Appy League become the success that it is by turning out
to root for your favorite team and we thank you and dont take you for granted.
Tonights players, not unlike Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripken, Jr and the late Kirby Puckett who started their
hall-of-fame careers here, and possible future hall-of-famers Yadier Molina, Jose Altuve, Joe Mauer,
Chris Archer and Carlos Correa, will look back years from now and remember the time they spent with
you in your community.
Our front office staffs have been hard at work over the off season dreaming up new ideas to upgrade
the fan experience through quality friendly service, new entertainment, promotions and concessions all
at affordable family pricing.
The Appalachian Leagues tradition and success has continued to grow, not only because of our great
athletes and coaching staffs, who teach them what being a professional means, but through our clubs
off the field involvement in local charities and fundraising initiatives. What better statements can we
make about our clubs dedication to their communities than with the capital improvements made to our
facilities.
We salute our ball clubs and the organizations they represent and applaud their commitment to be an
integral part of their communities.
Now sit back and watch the Stars of Tomorrow play tonight, and please remember, in todays
changing economy, to support the businesses and sponsors who participate with your Appalachian
League team.
Sincerely,
P.S. Please dont forget to stop by your teams gift shop on the way out.
League History
The Appalachian League was born in 1911 with teams in Asheville, N.C.; Bristol, Va.; Cleve-
land, Tenn.; Johnson City, Tenn.; Knoxville, Tenn.; and Morristown, Tenn. That first version of
the league lasted just four years, with the league disbanding in the middle of the 1914 season
when Morristown and Middlesboro, Ky., folded on June 17.
The league reformed in 1921 with six teams: Bristol; Cleveland; Greeneville, Tenn.; John-
son City; Kingsport, Tenn.; and Knoxville. That incarnation of the league managed five seasons,
before again closing up shop midway through 1925.
In 1937, the league was restarted with teams in Elizabethton, Tenn.; Johnson City; New-
port, Tenn.; and Pennington Gap, Va. During World War II, while most other minor leagues
ceased operations, the Appalachian League played on. It continued right up until 1955. That
year legendary minor league slugger Leo Muscle Shoals led the league with 33 homers and
134 RBIs in a 126-game season for Kingsport. It was the fifth Appalachian League home run
title for Shoals, who had also led in 1939, 1946, 1947 and 1951.
The modern Appalachian League began in 1957, its first year as a short-season league.
Six teams played that year, in Bluefield, W.Va.; Johnson City; Kingsport; Pulaski, Va.; Salem, Va.;
and Wytheville, Va.
This record book focuses on the league since 1957.
