Knoxville was an independent Minor League Baseball team that played in the Tennessee–Alabama League in 1904.[1] They were located in Knoxville, Tennessee, and played their home games at Baldwin Park.[2]
The team was preceded in Knoxville by the Knoxville Indians, who played in 1897.[1] Knoxville played its first game in the Tennessee–Alabama League on May 16, 1904, defeating Chattanooga, 7–4.[3] They defeated Bristol, 6–1, in the season finale on August 20.[4] Knoxville won the pennant with a 49–29 (.628) first-place finish.[5] [6]
The city did not field another club until the Knoxville Appalachians began play in 1909.[7]
The only Knoxville player to also compete in Major League Baseball during his career was Pryor McElveen, who played with the Brooklyn Superbas/Dodgers from 1909 to 1911.[8]
