The 1901 Nashville Baseball Club season was the 8th season of minor league baseball in Nashville, Tennessee, and the Nashville Baseball Club's 1st season in the Southern Association.[1][2][3] The board of directors awarded the league pennant to Nashville over Little Rock.[4][5] In 1901, the Southern Association was formed to fill the void left by the folding of the original Southern League. The team was managed by Newt Fisher.[6][7] The team featured Ed Abbaticchio, Snapper Kennedy, Tom Parrott and War Sanders. Abbatichio led the league in runs.[8][9]
They played an exhibition game with Vanderbilt's baseball team, whose captain was shortstop Grantland Rice.[10]
