The Marianna Brickeys were a minor league baseball team based in Marianna, Arkansas. In 1909, the Brickeys played as members of the Northeast Arkansas League, finishing in third place in their only season of minor league play.
Minor league baseball began in Marianna, Arkansas when the "Marianna Brickeys" began play in 1909. Marianna became charter members of the reformed Class D level Northeast Arkansas League, which began play as a four–team league. The Northeast Arkansas League was formed after the Arkansas State League folded on July 27, 1909. With the Northeast Arkansas League beginning play on July 26, 1909, the Marianna Brickeys joined the Jonesboro Zebras, Newport Pearl Diggers and Paragould Scouts as charter members. [1] [2] [3] [4]

The Marianna Brickeys followed the second place Newport Pearl Diggers (29–25) and finished ahead of the Paragould Scouts (24–30) in the final standings. [2] [1]
