They were located in Nashville, Tennessee, and played their home games at Athletic Park. The Seraphs won the Southern League pennant in their only year of existence, making them the first Nashville minor league baseball team to win a league championship. Team historyNashville's previous Southern League club, the Nashville Tigers, ceased to play when the league suspended operations approximately nine games into the second half of the 1894 season. On January 14, 1895, Southern League officials granted an expansion franchise in the city to W. H. Stallings.[1] Nashville's new team for the 1895 season was called the Seraphs. The club joined seven other teams in the circuit: the Atlanta Crackers, Chattanooga Warriors (subsequently the Mobile Bluebirds), Evansville Blackbirds, Little Rock Travelers, Memphis Giants (also known as the Memphis Lambs), Montgomery Grays, and New Orleans Pelicans.[2] The Seraphs played their home games at Athletic Park, which was later known as Sulphur Dell. The Seraphs were managed by player-manager George Stallings, who was the team's backup catcher.[3] Stallings previously managed the Nashville Tigers, and would later manage the Boston Braves to win the 1914 World Series.[3] Daniel Sweeney also managed the team at some point in the season.[4] Nashville participated in a number of exhibition games against major league teams, local athletic clubs, and the Vanderbilt Commodores before the season began.[5] One such series consisted of three games against the National League's Cleveland Spiders. Nashville won one of the games, 4–3, in which Seraphs pitcher Sam Moran out dueled Cleveland's 28-year-old ace, Cy Young.[6] The Seraphs' first game of the season was a 17–10 loss played in Evansville, Indiana, against the Evansville Black Birds.[5] The Seraphs defeated the New Orleans Pelicans in both games of a July 4 doubleheader, 12–0 and 9–4.[7] On July 27, Frank Butler, a Seraphs outfielder, had his contract purchased by the National League's New York Giants for US$1,000.[8] Butler achieved a .371 batting average and 34 stolen bases during his time in Nashville.[1] By mid-August, the Seraphs were in third place behind Evansville and the Atlanta Crackers. The race for the Southern League championship, determined by winning percentage, heated up following a disputed call during an August 10 contest at Athletic Park versus Atlanta. Nashville was trailing 10–8 in their last at bat in the ninth inning. They scored a run and still had men on first and second base with their catcher, Daniel Sweeney, at the plate. He hit a high foul fly ball back toward the grandstand. As Atlanta's catcher, Tug Wilson, attempted to get under the ball, his foot slipped causing him to miss it. While reaching for the ball, a boy in the stands threw a baseball glove or cap past his head. The umpire, Clark, ruled this as interference and called Sweeney out, resulting in a 10–9 Seraphs loss. This incident would come to be known as the "Glove Game."[5] Following the defeat, Nashville went on a 20-game winning streak, moving them into first place with only a few games left to play.[5] The last day of scheduled play was September 2, but Atlanta, who held second place, played an additional game on September 3 to make up a rain-postponed game.[5] This additional win by Atlanta, as well as the removal of several games deemed illegal by league president J.B. Nicklin, made it appear that Atlanta and Nashville were tied for first place with the same .699 winning percentage.[9] A closer look, however, revealed that Atlanta was actually ahead with a .66999 record to Nashville's .66998.[9] Nashville claimed to be the rightful pennant winners and protested the final standings for three reasons.[9] Firstly, the August 10 "Glove Game" should have been thrown out because of the umpire's bad call. Secondly, New Orleans used an ineligible player who had been suspended from the Pennsylvania State League, and should forfeit all games in which he participated. Lastly, since Atlanta played a game one day after the official end of the season, their September 3 win should not count toward their record.[5] Southern League and team representatives held a meeting on September 7–8 in Chattanooga to determine a winner.[10] After two days of discussions,[11] their decision was to throw out the "Glove Game" on the basis that the umpire's ruling was illegal since there was no rule providing for the punishment of a club for the interference of an outsider. Atlanta's September 3 game was also declared null since it was played after the season was over.[9] Nashville withdrew its protest of New Orleans' ineligible player.[5] These descisions caused the Seraphs' winning percentage to rise to .670 and Atlanta's to fall to .667, making Nashville the league pennant winner.[9][10] (Some sources cite the final adjusted record as Seraphs: .676 (71–34); and Atlanta: .667 (68–34).[5]) Atlanta challenged the decision at the league's annual meeting on December 21 in Birmingham, but Nashville's pennant-winning season was upheld.[9][12] This was this first league championship to be won by a team hailing from Nashville.[13] On August 18, during the heat of the pennant race and only eight days after pitching in the "Glove Game", the contract of ace pitcher Sam Moran was purchased by the National League's Pittsburgh Pirates[5][14] At the time of his departure, Moran's record was 22–12; he had also recorded 113 strike outs with Nashville.[15] Despite the championship season, financial instability kept the Seraphs from returning to play a second season. Two years later, in 1897, the Nashville Centennials franchise was formed as a member of the Central League.[16] Season resultsThese records show the results as they stood at the end of the season and do not reflect the removal of several games deemed illegal by Southern League President J.B. Nicklin.[9]
