Greeneville Flyboys

Professional baseball was first played in Greeneville, Tennessee, by the Greeneville Burley Cubs in the Appalachian League in 1921.^[2] They remained in the league through 1925 and returned for a second stretch from 1938 to 1942.^[2] The Burley Cubs were followed in the same league by the Greeneville Astros, who played in the city from 2004 to 2017.^[2] The Houston Astros, parent club of Greeneville, withdrew their affiliate from the Appalachian League after the 2017 season.^[3] The circuit's vacancy was filled by the Cincinnati Reds, who placed a Rookie-level affiliate in Greeneville known as the Greeneville Reds.^[2]

In conjunction with a contraction of Minor League Baseball beginning with the 2021 season, the Appalachian League was reorganized as a collegiate summer baseball league, and the Greeneville Reds were replaced by a new franchise in the revamped league designed for rising college freshmen and sophomores.^[4] The new team became known as the Greeneville Flyboys.^[5] The nickname is in reference to an old airfield at the site of the stadium where the city's previous baseball teams played.^[6] The Flyboys play their home games at Pioneer Park on the campus of Tusculum University.^[6]
