The Milan-Trenton Twins were a Minor League Baseball team that played in the Class D Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League (KITTY League) in 1923.[1] The team was shared between the cities of Milan and Trenton, Tennessee.[1] Thus, the Twins were named for their twin cities. Home games were alternated between Milan City Park and an unknown ballpark in Trenton.[2]
In 1922, Trenton was home to the Trenton Reds of the KITTY League, but the city fielded no team at the start of the 1923 season.[3] The KITTY League's Springfield Blanket Makers of Springfield, Tennessee, dropped out of the league at the start of that season's second half.[4] The franchise was subsequently taken over by Milan and Trenton as the Milan-Trenton Twins.[4] [5]
The Twins began competition on July 19, approximately 10 games into the second half, with a 10–0 road loss to the Paris Parisians.[6] They won their first game on July 25, defeating the Hopkinsville Hoppers, 3–1, at Milan.[7] The season ended on September 3, with the Twins losing the morning game of a doubleheader to Hopkinsville, 6–0, and the afternoon game being called due to rain after six scoreless innings.[8] The Twins placed fifth out of eight teams at 21–22 (.488).[9]
