Bristol Baseball, Inc. will announce the name of the city’s team in the newly formatted Appalachian League on Monday, Feb. 1.
Beginning in June 2021, hundreds of the nation’s top rising college freshman and sophomores will compete over a 54-game season in Bristol and other Appalachian League cities in the country’s premier collegiate wood bat league.
BBI is the nonprofit all-volunteer charitable organization which operates the city’s entry in the Appalachian League.
“Since the introduction of the wood bat league last fall, we have worked diligently to craft a new identity for our team, one which reflects the history of organized baseball in Bristol and our great community,” said BBI president Mahlon Luttrell.
“We are looking forward to sharing this new identity in the team name and logos with all of our fans and others in the community and region, and look forward to being able to share more information about the team’s operations in the coming weeks,” Luttrell continued.
