Hopkinsville Hoppers

Former professional baseball team in Kentucky, United States (1904–1954)

The Hopkinsville Hoppers were a baseball team based in Hopkinsville, Kentucky between 1904 and 1954. The team initially played as the "Browns" in 1904, before adopting the "Hoppers" moniker.[1]

Hopkinsville teams played as exclusively as members of the Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League in 1904–1905, 1910–1914, 1916, 1922–1923, 1935–1942, 1946–1954.[2]

Hopkinsville was affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers (AA) from 1937 to 1939; Chicago Cubs 1946; Philadelphia A's 1953–1954.

Today, the "Hoppers" team moniker has been adopted by the summer collegiate baseball wood-bat team that plays as a member of the Ohio Valley League, after the current team was founded in 2012. In 2012, Hopkinsville had the highest attendance in the league.[3]
