TFA blurb review

[edit]

The history of the Nashville Sounds Minor League Baseball team began in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1978, after Larry Schmittou and a group of American investors purchased the rights to operate an expansion franchise of the Double-A Southern League. The Sounds played their home games at Herschel Greer Stadium from its opening in 1978 until the end of the 2014 season. In 2015, the Sounds left Greer for First Tennessee Park, a new facility on the site of the former Sulphur Dell ballpark, home to Nashville's minor league teams from 1885 to 1963. The team won the Southern League championship in 1979 as the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds and in 1982 as the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. Before the 1985 season, the team owners purchased the Triple-A Evansville Triplets and relocated the team to Nashville. The Sounds became members of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League in 1998 and won that league's championship in 2005 as the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. (Full article...)
