History

Newt Fisher (1901–1905) managed Nashville to win the first two Southern Association pennants in 1901 and 1902.

The

Class A status in 1902.[7] Under Fisher, the Nashvilles won the first two Southern Association pennants by possessing the best regular-season records in 1901 and 1902.[8][9][10] On July 12, 1905, Fisher sold the team to a local stock company.[11] He stayed on as manager until July 17, when former Toledo Mud Hens skipper Mickey Finn was hired to take his place.[12][13] Finn remained through 1906 in which the club posted its all-time lowest winning percentage of .328 (45–92).[13][14] His .342 record in two seasons is the lowest among all Nashville managers over a full season or more. John Dobbs, who also played as an outfielder, became Nashville's manager in 1907.[15]

Jimmy Hamilton became manager in 1923.[26] He took the field for one game in 1924.[26] Hamilton stepped down as field manager on July 26, 1928, and made third baseman Tommy Taylor the acting manager while he toured the South scouting players.[27][28] Taylor remained in the role until being traded to the New Orleans Pelicans on August 3.[29] He was succeeded by Bill Black, who was brought in for the rest of the season and also played second base.[29][30][31] Pants Rowland guided the team from 1929 to 1930.[32]

Lance Richbourg managed the Vols over three periods (1934, 1935, and 1936–1937).

Class A1 status.[7][42] Richbourg served as player-manager for a third term from 1936 to 1937.[38]

The Vols became the Class A1 affiliate of the

Southland.[8] The club operated without major league working agreements in 1941 and 1942,[45][46] but Gilbert led Nashville to win back-to-back playoff championships and Dixie Series in those seasons.[8]

In 1943, the Volunteers became the Class A1 affiliate of the Chicago Cubs.[47] Gilbert's men won two more playoff titles in 1943 and 1944, but the Dixie Series had been suspended due to World War II.[8] In 1946, the Southern Association was reclassified as a Double-A circuit.[7] Nashville won its seventh regular-season flag in 1948.[48] After 10 seasons as manager, Larry Gilbert retired from his post following the season but remained with the team in the role of general manager.[49] Gilbert had led the Vols for 1,471 regular-season games over 10 seasons, making him the longest-tenured manager in team history. He also sits atop the all-time wins list for Vols skippers with 821 wins.

Rollie Hemsley led Nashville to win their fourth and final Dixie Series in 1949.

Columbia Reds in 1956.[55] He was followed by first-year manager Dick Sisler from 1957 to 1959.[56] Sisler also played first base in 1957 and 1958.[56] Jim Turner, who was from Antioch, led the Vols in 1960.[57]

Nashville became the Double-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins in 1961.[58] They were led by Red Robbins, who also played as a third baseman, first baseman, and outfielder, in the only year of the affiliation.[59] Following the season, the Southern Association disbanding after 61 seasons due to the loss of some of its teams and the inability of others to secure major league working agreements for 1962.[60]

The Vols sat out the 1962 campaign, primarily due to the Southern Association's collapse,

Quad Cities Angels the previous season.[63] Poor attendance and financial problems resulted in the team's board of directors voting unanimously to surrender the franchise to the league following the season.[64] After 62 seasons in Nashville, the Vols had played 9,015 regular-season games and compiled a win–loss record of 4,569–4,446 (.507). They qualified for postseason playoffs on 16 occasions in which they had a record of 108–74–1 (.593).
