The Memphis Chicks were a Minor League Baseball team that played in the Southern League from 1978 to 1997. They were located in Memphis, Tennessee, and played their home games at Tim McCarver Stadium. They served as a farm club for four Major League Baseball teams: the Montreal Expos (1978–1983), Kansas City Royals (1984–1994), San Diego Padres (1995–1996), and Seattle Mariners (1997). The Chicks were named for the Memphis Chickasaws, who were charter members of the Southern Association that played in Memphis from 1901 to 1960.

Over the course of their 20-year run, the Chicks played in 2,858 regular season games and compiled a win–loss record of 1,419–1,439. Memphis reached the postseason on seven occasions, winning seven half-season titles, two division titles, and one Southern League championship. They won their lone league title in 1990 as an affiliate of the Kansas City Royals. The team had an overall postseason record of 15–21.

History

Prior professional baseball in Memphis

The first Memphis Chicks played in the Southern Association from 1901 to 1960.

The first professional baseball team in Memphis was the Memphis Reds of the League Alliance in 1877.[1] A different Reds team was created as a charter member of the original Southern League in 1885.[1] The city's Southern League team was known as the Grays in 1886 and 1888, the Browns in 1887, simply Memphis in 1889, the Giants in 1892 and 1894, the Fever Germs in 1893, and the Lambs/Giants in 1895.[1]

The city's longest-operating baseball team, first known as Memphis Egyptians, was formed in 1901 as a charter member of the Southern Association.[1] From 1909 to 1911, this club was called the Turtles before receiving its best-known moniker, the Chickasaws, often shortened to Chicks, in 1912.[1] The original Chicks remained in the league through 1960, winning eight pennants, one playoff championship, and one Dixie Series title. Russwood Park, their home ballpark, was destroyed by fire in April 1960. With the cost of building a new facility too high, the team dropped out of the league after the 1960 season.[2]

After a seven-year span with no professional team, Memphis became host to the Memphis Blues, a Double-A team of the Texas League, in 1968.[1] The team played at Blues Stadium, a converted American Legion field which opened in 1963 and was located at the former Mid-South Fairgrounds. After six seasons, the Blues moved up to the Triple-A International League in 1974, but the franchise was revoked by the league due to financial problems after the 1976 season.[1][3]

Montreal Expos (1978–1983)

[edit]

In 1978, a new Memphis Chicks team was created as an expansion franchise of the Double-A Southern League playing in its Western Division as an affiliate of the Montreal Expos.[4] The Expos moved their Double-A affiliation from the Québec Metros in Quebec City to Memphis because of the circuit's better climate.[5] The Chicks played their home games at Blues Stadium, which was renamed Tim McCarver Stadium in honor of Tim McCarver, a Memphis native, former Chickasaw, and major league ballplayer.[6]

The Chicks played their first game on April 15, 1978, at home against the Nashville Sounds, who also joined the league as an expansion team. After going up 1–0 in the first inning, Nashville tied the game in the third and went ahead, 2–1, in the top of the sixth. In the bottom of the inning, however, Memphis answered with three unearned runs, sealing their first win, 4–2.[7] On August 20, Mike Finlayson pitched a seven-inning no-hitter in the first game of a doubleheader against the Montgomery Rebels in Memphis.[8] The Southern League used a split-season schedule wherein the season was divided into two halves, and the division winners from each half qualified for the postseason championship playoffs.[9] Memphis placed second in both halves and finished their inaugural season with a record of 71–73.[10] Outfielder Eddie Gates was selected as the Southern League Most Valuable Player (MVP).[11]

Memphis ended the first half of the 1979 season tied for first place with Montgomery. They won the First Half Western Division title by defeating the Rebels, 2–1, in a one-game playoff.[12] They lost the best-of-three Western Division championship series to Nashville, the second half winner, two games to one.[13] The Chicks won the first half again in 1980, this time defeating the Sounds, 3–1, to advance to the finals,[13] but they lost to the Charlotte O's, 3–1.[14]

On July 6, 1981, the Chicks played host to the Southern League All-Star Game at Tim McCarver Stadium.[15] The game was originally scheduled to be played in Savannah, Georgia, against the Atlanta Braves, but was changed to Memphis against the Chicks due to the 1981 Major League Baseball strike.[16] Before an attendance of 5,366 people, a team of the Southern League's All-Stars defeated Memphis, 10–3.[15] The 1981 Chicks won a third consecutive first half title, but were swept by Nashville in the Western Division series, 3–0.[13] The teams fielded in 1982 and 1983 failed to win either half of the season and finished with under-.500 records. Through six years of affiliation with the Montreal Expos, Memphis accumulated a 444–421 record.

Kansas City Royals (1984–1994)

[edit]

In 1983, team owner Avron Fogelman, purchased a 49 percent interest in the Kansas City Royals.[17] Majority owner Ewing Kauffman then chose to move Kansas City's Double-A affiliation to Memphis for 1984.[18]

On July 2, 1986, Mitch McKelvey no-hit the Columbus Astros in a 16–0 Memphis win at Tim McCarver Stadium.[19] The Chicks struggled through their first four years in the Royals system, not posting their first winning record until 1987. Prior to the 1988 season, Fogelman sold the team to Craig Stein, who also owned the Double-A Reading Phillies of the Eastern League, for an undisclosed price.[20] Memphis won the second half title in 1988, but lost the division championship to the Chattanooga Lookouts, 3–1.[12] Outfielder Matt Winters was selected as the 1988 Southern League MVP.[11] The team experienced a franchise-low 59–84 (.413) record in 1989. Left fielder Harvey Pulliam was voted the MVP of the 1989 Southern League All-Star Game.[21] After the season, the team changed hands again as Stein sold the franchise to businessmen Mike Nicklous, Richard Addeo, and Alan Bernikow for over $3 million.[22] It was Nicklous' intention to purchase and relocate a Triple-A team to Memphis.[22]

The Chicks rebounded in 1990, by winning the first half of the season and beating the Birmingham Barons, 3–1, to win the Western Division title.[12] In the best-of-five finals, Memphis won their only Southern League championship by defeating the Orlando Sun Rays, 3–2.[14] First baseman Jeff Conine was voted the 1990 Southern League MVP.[11] On July 12, 1993, Memphis hosted the Double-A All-Star Game. A team of National League-affiliated All-Stars defeated a team of American League affiliates, 12–7, with 6,335 people in attendance.[23] Chicks right fielder Les Norman was selected as the game's Southern League MVP.[24] On August 8, Rodney Myers pitched a no-hitter against the Knoxville Smokies in a 3–0 Memphis win.[25] The final four years of the Kansas City affiliation were reminiscent of the first four with only one winning season in their final year of partnership in 1994. Over the 11-year affiliation, the longest in franchise history, Memphis had a 759–814 record. Through all 17 years of play, the team was 1,203–1,235.

San Diego Padres (1995–1996)

[edit]

Memphis entered into a two-year affiliation with the San Diego Padres for 1995 and 1996.[26] First baseman Jason Thompson was the Southern League MVP of the 1995 Double-A All-Star Game.[27] On September 2, Robbie Beckett no-hit the Chattanooga Lookouts in the second game of a seven-inning doubleheader, which Memphis lost, 1–0.[25][28] The Chicks won the first-half title in 1995, but lost the Western Division finals to Chattanooga, 3–2.[12] The Chicks repeated as first-half champions in 1996, but were again ousted by the Lookouts, 3–1.[12] The team's 81–58 (.583) record was the highest in franchise history. First baseman Derrek Lee won the 1996 MVP Award.[11] In two seasons with the Padres, the Chicks' record was 149–132. The held a composite franchise record of 1,352–1,367.

Seattle Mariners (1997)

[edit]

Ryan Franklin pitched two no-hitters for the Chicks in 1997.

The Chicks entered into a one-year agreement to partner with the Seattle Mariners in 1997 while plans were underway to relocate the team.[29] Memphis' pitchers tossed two no-hitters in their final season. The first occurred on April 14 when Ryan Franklin, Scott Simmons, and David Holdridge combined to no-hit the Lookouts in a 4–0 win.[30] One week later, in his next start on April 21, Franklin pitched a solo seven-inning no-hit game on the road against the Carolina Mudcats in the first game of a doubleheader, a 6–0 win.[31] On September 1, the Chicks played their final game on the road at Chattanooga's Engel Stadium, a 3–0 Memphis win.[32] In their final season, the Chicks compiled a 67–72 record and missed out on winning either half of the season. Over their 20-year run in Memphis, the team had a composite record of 1,419–1,439.

With the 1998 arrival of the Memphis Redbirds, a Triple-A Pacific Coast League expansion team,[1] the Southern League Chicks franchise moved to Jackson and became the West Tenn Diamond Jaxx in 1998.[32] Beginning in 2021, the Redbirds honor the Chicks' history by designating Thursday home games as "Retro Nights", where the team plays in '70s-style Chicks pullover jerseys, former players are celebrated, and fans can enjoy "vintage" pricing for certain concessions.

Season-by-season results

[edit]

The Chicks' best season record occurred in 1996, when they finished 81–58 (.583) as an affiliate of the San Diego Padres. Their lowest season record was 59–84 (.413) in 1989 as an affiliate of the Kansas City Royals. Of the four Major League Baseball teams with which Memphis was affiliated, the Chicks experienced their best record with the Padres from 1995 to 1996. The team had a composite regular season record of 149–132 (.530). They reached the postseason in both years. Conversely, the team's lowest record was with the Seattle Mariners in 1997. The Chicks compiled a 67–72 (.482) record and failed to reach the postseason.
