The Harriman Boosters were a Minor League Baseball team that played in the Class D Appalachian League in 1914. [1] They were located in Harriman, Tennessee. [1]

The Boosters won their season opener on May 18, defeating the Knoxville Reds, 6–3, at home before a crowd of about 1,000 people. [2] They played their final game, a 3–3 tie against Knoxville called after 12 innings on account of darkness, on June 17. [3] With the other three teams in the circuit losing money from poor attendance, the league disbanded the next day. [4] Harriman compiled a win–loss record of 14–13 (.519), placing third, in its only season of competition. [5]
