1906 Imperial (Hotel) baseball team

Baseball in Knoxville in 1906 was rather slim.  There wasn't a semi-professional team in town, although Fran Moffett gathered together some of his former team.  The Knoxville City League started up in the middle of June, with four teams.

  • Baker-Hind
  • Imperial
  • McClung
  • YMCA 

Here's the Imperial team.  Note that the names with the image are slightly different than the names in the newspaper.
