Southern Association - Champions

Champions

The Nashville Vols captured the most league championships, with 15 titles over the Association's 61 years of existence — dominating the league with six straight championships from 1939–1944. The Atlanta Crackers, termed by some the "New York Yankees of the minors," won the SA crown 13 times, and almost annually finished near the top of the standings. The Birmingham Barons and New Orleans Pelicans each won ten championships, counting the Pelicans' first-place standing during the war-shortened 1918 season. On the other hand, the Chattanooga Lookouts, charter members of the SA, won only one title — with that coming during the Southern Association's final, 1961 campaign.

Famous quotes containing the word champions:

    “While the Governor, and the Mayor, and countless officers of the Commonwealth are at large, the champions of liberty are imprisoned.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.”
    —Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)

    “Did all the lets and bars appear
    To every just or larger end,
    Whence should come the trust and cheer?
    Youth must its ignorant impulse lend—
    Age finds place in the rear.
    All wars are boyish, and are fought by boys,
    The champions and enthusiasts of the state:”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
