The Blue Grass League was a minor baseball league that existed in the early 1900s. There were two incarnations of the league, one that ran from 1908 to 1912 and one that existed from 1922 to 1924. It consisted entirely of teams based in Kentucky. 1908–1912Six teams played in the league's inaugural season: the Frankfort Statesmen, Lexington Colts, Richmond Pioneers, Shelbyville Grays, Winchester Hustlers and a squad from Lawrenceburg. The Statesmen finished in first place. In 1909, the Hustlers, Pioneers, Statesmen and Colts returned to the league, while Shelbyville dropped its nickname and the Lawrenceburg team departed. In its stead were the Paris Bourbonites. The Hustlers finished in first place. All teams from 1909 returned for 1910, though partway through the year the Shelbyville squad moved to Maysville to become the Maysville Rivermen. The Bourbonites finished first in the league. All teams from 1910 returned for 1911, with the Bourbonites finishing in first place again. There was also a playoff held that season, with the Bourbonites winning the series. In 1912, the Statesmen became the Frankfort Lawmakers. Winchester moved to Nicholas and then Mt. Sterling. Outside of those changes, the league remained the same. Frankfort finished in first place. 1922–1924The inaugural season of the second incarnation of the league featured the Paris Mammoths, Maysville Cardinals, Cynthiana Merchants, Mt. Sterling Essex, Winchester Dodgers and Lexington Reds. The Mammoths finished in first, though the league playoff pitted Maysville against Cynthiana, with the former winning the series. 1923 saw multiple teams change names. The Merchants became the Cynthiana Cobblers and the Mammoths became the Paris Bourbons. The other teams remained the same. Cynthiana finished in first place. The league consisted of only four teams in 1924 - Paris, Cynthiana, Lexington (now called the Studebakers) and Winchester. The Bourbons finished in first place.[1] References1. ^The Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball: Third Edition 2 : Defunct minor baseball leagues in the United States|Baseball leagues in Kentucky |
