Professional baseball was introduced to Chattanooga in the summer of
1885, and the Lookouts moniker and legacy dates to 1909. Baseball in
Chattanooga presents the shapers of the franchise, most notably Joe
Engel, and the players who found success, glory, and even infamy in
Chattanooga. These players, including Harmon Killebrew, Mark Langston,
and Gil Coan, represented the Lookouts in two ballparks that had one
thing in common: watching baseball there made it easy to love the game.
