The Nashville Sounds Minor League Baseball team has played in Nashville, Tennessee, since being established in 1978 as an expansion team of the Double-A Southern League. [1] They moved up to Triple-A in 1985 as members of the American Association before joining the Pacific Coast League in 1998. [1] The team was placed in the Triple-A East in 2021 prior to this becoming the International League in 2022. [2] [3] In the history of the franchise, numerous players and teams have set records in various statistical areas during single games, entire seasons, or their Sounds careers.

Contents

Of the nine Sounds who hold the 19 career records tracked by the team, Tim Dillard holds the most, with seven. He is followed by Skeeter Barnes and Chad Hermansen, with three each; and Keith Brown, Mark Corey, Hugh Kemp, Otis Nixon, Tike Redman, and Joey Wendle, with one apiece. Dillard holds the most franchise records, with eight. He is followed by Jamie Werly, with six; and Steve Balboni and Skeeter Barnes, who hold four records each.

Combined, the team and individual players hold 30 league records: 13 in the Southern League, one in the American Association, and 16 in the Pacific Coast League. [4] [5] Individual players hold five Southern League, one American Association, and two Pacific Coast League records. [4] [6] The franchise set the Southern League season attendance record in 1980 and the single-game attendance record in 1982. [7] Many of the Pacific Coast League records were set on May 5–6, 2006, when the Sounds participated in a 24-inning game against the New Orleans Zephyrs, which matched the longest game, in terms of innings played, in the league's history.
