History
Clarksville, Tennessee, had been previously represented in the Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League by the Clarksville Villagers in 1903 and the Clarksville Grays in 1904.[1] From 1910 to 1916 the city fielded a team known as the Clarksville Volunteers (1910 and 1916), Clarksville Billies (1911), Clarksville Rebels (1912), and Clarksville Boosters (1913–1914).[1]
After a 39-year absence, Clarksville returned to the KITTY League in 1946 with the Colts, who played their home games at Goodrich Park.[2] They lost their season opener, 11–0, to the Hopkinsville Hoppers before a home audience of around 3,000 people on May 8.[3] The Colts gained their first win the next evening, beating the Hoppers 11–6.[4] Clarksville ended their first season in fifth place, just missing the playoffs, with a record of 58–67 (.464).[5]
The team became known as the Clarksville Colts in 1947.[6] They accumulated a record of 40–83 (.325), placing last of eight teams.[6] The Colts posted two more losing seasons in 1948 (49–77; .389) and 1949 (40–85; .320), placing sixth and seventh respectively.[7][8] Clarksville lost their last two games, 7–3 and 6–1, in a doubleheader with Hopkinsville on September 5, 1949.[9] Over four seasons, the team had accumulated a record of 187–312 (.375).
Clarksville did not field another professional team until 1996 with the Clarksville Coyotes of the independent Big South League.[1]
