Vols, Inc. is Formed to Save the Nashville Vols
Manage episode 372899709 series 3334627
On January 15, 1959, the Nashville Vols baseball franchise was sold to a group of local businesspeople, which included county musician Eddy Arnold and politician and Tennessee Secretary of State Joe C. Carr. Known as Vols, Inc., President Herschel Lynn Greer headed the group.
It was an attempt to keep professional baseball alive at Sulphur Dell in a time when franchises were failing. In this episode, I tell about ownership changes leading up to the last hurrah for the Vols.
