History

During previous owner Joe Engel's tenure, the Lookouts won four championships - three with the Southern Association and a fourth with the South Atlantic League. For a time, Engel led the charge to own the Lookouts privately, with the help of several hundred fans as shareholders from 1938 to 1942. In 1939, as a privately owned franchise under coach Kiki Cuyler, the Lookouts claimed a championship.

In 1931, the New York Yankees played an exhibition game against the Lookouts. During the game, a 17 year old girl named Jackie Mitchell pitched for the Lookouts and struck out Major League greats Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. A few days after the game, baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis voided Mitchell's contract, claiming that baseball was "too strenuous" for women. ^[1]

Notable former Lookouts players that have made it to the Major Leagues include Baseball Hall of Famers Burleigh Grimes, Harmon Killebrew, and Ferguson Jenkins. Other notable former players include Alvin Davis, Mark Langston, Deion Sanders, and Pete Rose Jr. (son of Pete Rose). Ben Broussard (New York Yankees), Adam Dunn (Washington Nationals), Austin Kearns (Washington Nationals), Trevor Hoffman (Milwaukee Brewers) and Jason LaRue (St. Louis Cardinals) currently play in the MLB.

2009 marks the teams' 124th season of play in Chattanooga.

The team, which plays in the Southern League, is the Double-A affiliate of the major-league club.

From 1987-2008, the Lookouts were the Double-A affiliate Cincinnati Reds. For the 2009-2010 seasons, the Los Angeles Dodgers will be the parent club. ^{[2] [3]}
