The Springfield Blanket Makers were a Minor League Baseball team that played in the Class D Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League (KITTY League) in 1923. [1] They were located in Springfield, Tennessee. [1]
After their scheduled May 15 season opener was rained out, [2] Springfield lost the next day's game to the Hopkinsville Hoppers, 7–2. [3] They closed out the first half with an 8–7 home loss to the Mayfield Pantsmakers on July 7. [4] They finished last of eight teams with a 14–36 (.280) record. [5]
On July 9, just before the start of the second half, Springfield surrendered its franchise to the league due to poor finances and an inability to raise funds. [6] The league hoped to place the team in another Tennessee city, either Clarksville, Jackson, or Milan. [6] On July 19, ten games into the second half, the franchise was taken over by Milan and nearby Trenton as the Milan-Trenton Twins. [7] [8] At the end of the second half, the Twins placed fifth with a record of 21–22 (.488). [9]
