The Bristol State Liners are an inactive collegiate summer baseball team based in Bristol, Virginia and Bristol, Tennessee. They are a member of the Appalachian League, a collegiate summer league that operates in the Appalachian regions of Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina. The team is operated by a non-profit organization, Bristol Baseball, Incorporated (BBI). BBI had no full-time paid staff, instead relying on a volunteer board and general manager to keep and promote professional baseball in Bristol.
The original team played in the Appalachian League from 1921 to 1925. Since 1969 the franchise has been operated by Bristol Baseball, Incorporated (BBI). The organization was affiliated with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers[1] as the Bristol Tigers, Bristol White Sox, and Bristol Pirates.
