Earlier this year I was gifted a team photo of the 1939 Knoxville Smokies. I have not seen this in the local papers or in various baseball guides.
That season they were part of the class A-1 Southern Association and were managed by Neil Caldwell. Their team page at BBRef can be found here. The team had eight former or future Major Leaguers on it and they finished with a 79-73 record, finishing 5th in the league. That was their second and final yeat to be associated with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
