Nashville’s First Baseball Pennant

Would you venture a guess as to which year was Nashville professional baseball’s first championship?

The answer is 1895, and the team had an unusual name: Seraphs. Other members of the Southern League were Atlanta, Evansville, Little Rock, New Orleans, Memphis, Mobile, and Montgomery, and the pennant was not awarded until the season was over.

What is a Seraph, you ask? In this episode, I’ll answer that question and tell about the decision to give Nashville the championship. Listen in!
