The Union City Greyhounds were a summer collegiate baseball team based in Union City, Tennessee. The team, which played in the KIT League played its home games in Elam Stadium at LH Ladd Field, located in Union City, Tennessee.
The Union City Greyhounds were managed by a Board of Directors, and daily management overseen by Bill "Rat" Harrison, General Manager and Stephen Crockett, Director of Baseball Operations. The coaching staff was directed by Harris-Stowe State University head coach Jonathan Estes and Curtis Burkehalter of Northwestern State. The team, as of the 2010 season, is now inactive. A major reason for this was disagreement between management on the direction of the team and the franchise.

“Och, Dublin City, there is no doubtin’,
Bates every city upon the say;
‘Tis there you’ll see O’Connell spoutin’,
An’ Lady Morgan makin’ tay;
For ‘tis the capital of the finest nation,
Wid charmin’ pisintry on a fruitful sod,
Fightin’ like divils for conciliation
An’ hatin’ each other for the love of God.”
—Charles James Lever (1809–1872)
