The Jackson Railroaders were a Minor League Baseball team that played in the Class D Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League in 1903. [1] They were located in Jackson, Tennessee, and were named for the city's association with the railroad industry, which was an important part of the city's economy; Jackson was also the home of locomotive engineer Casey Jones. [2] The Railroaders played their home games at Lakeview Ball Park. [3]
Playing on the road, Jackson lost their season opener on May 21 against the Cairo Egyptians, 9–8. [4] They ended the season on the road with an 11–2 loss to the Hopkinsville Hoppers on September 16. [5] The Railroaders compiled a win–loss record of 53–52 (.505), placing third, in their only season of competition. [6]
The next professional baseball team to hail from Jackson was the Jackson Climbers in 1911. [7]
