The Clarksville Grays were a Minor League Baseball team that played in the Class D Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League (KITTY League) from 1903 to 1904.[1] They were located in Clarksville, Tennessee, and played their home games at League Park.[2] The team was known as the Clarksville Villagers in 1903 before becoming the Grays in 1904.[1]
The Villagers won their 1903 season opener on the road over the Paducah Paddys, 9–5, on May 21.[3] They finished the season in second place with a 60–43 (.583) record, 4+1⁄2 games out of first.[4] They returned in 1904 as the Grays.[5] Their final games were played on September 14 when they lost both games of a doubleheader, each by scores of 5–4, to the pennant-winning Paducah Indians.[6] Clarksville finished in third place at 64–58 (.525), 9+1⁄2 games behind Paducah.[7]
The city of Clarksville did not field another professional baseball team until the Clarksville Volunteers joined the KITTY League in 1910.[1]
