Nashville Xpress all-time roster
The Nashville Xpress minor league baseball team played two seasons in Nashville, Tennessee, from 1993 to 1994 as the Double-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. During those seasons, a total of 60 players played in at least one game for the Xpress. Of those 60 players, 22 have also played in at least one game for a Major League Baseball team.
After the 1992 baseball season, Charlotte, North Carolina, home of the Double-A Southern League's Charlotte Knights, acquired a Triple-A expansion team in the International League, leaving the Double-A Knights in need of a new home. Larry Schmittou, owner of the Triple-A Nashville Sounds, offered Herschel Greer Stadium as a temporary home for the displaced team, and the team relocated to Nashville and became the Nashville Xpress. The new Triple-A team in Charlotte inherited the Knights name and the legacy of the Double-A franchise that preceded it, while the Xpress were treated as new team with no previous history.[1] In order to accommodate two teams at Greer, the Xpress scheduled its home games during the Sounds' road trips.[1] Baseball America ranked the dual Nashville teams as number one on its list of the "top ten happenings in minor league baseball."[1] In 1995, the Xpress relocated to Wilmington, North Carolina, becoming the Port City Roosters.[1] A subsequent relocation in 1997 saw the Roosters moving to Mobile, Alabama, where they continued play as the Mobile Bay Bears.[2]
In 1993, Nashville's Oscar Múñoz was chosen as the Southern League's Most Outstanding Pitcher.[3] Outfielder Rich Becker was selected for the 1993 post-season All-Star team, and right-handed pitcher Brad Radke was named to the 1994 squad.[4] Three players went on to be selected for a major league All-Star team after playing for Nashville: Eddie Guardado (2002 & 2003),[5] Damian Miller (2002),[6] and Brad Radke (1998).[7] In 1995, Marty Cordova was chosen as the American League Rookie of the Year.[8] Three Xpress players also played for Nashville Sounds: LaTroy Hawkins (2010),[9] Todd Ritchie (1999),[10] and Scott Cepicky (1993—one season before playing for the Xpress).[11]
