Tri-Cities Triplets (Alabama–Tennessee League)
The Tri-Cities Triplets were a minor league baseball team that played in the Alabama–Tennessee League. Their existence was brief, operating during the 1904 season. The "Tri-Cities" referred to the cities of Florence, Sheffield, and Tuscumbia in northwestern Alabama, often considered a single metropolitan area. Information regarding the team's performance, specific players, and overall standing within the league is limited and fragmented. The Alabama–Tennessee League itself was a short-lived Class D league, adding to the obscurity of the Triplets. Surviving records primarily consist of league standings and mentions in contemporary newspapers. The team's name reflects a common practice of branding minor league teams with reference to the geographic area they represented.
