The Springfield Blanket Makers were a Minor League Baseball team that played in the Class D Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League (KITTY League) in 1923.[1] They were located in Springfield, Tennessee.[1]
After their scheduled May 15 season opener was rained out,[2] Springfield lost the next day's game to the Hopkinsville Hoppers, 7–2.[3] They closed out the first half with an 8–7 home loss to the Mayfield Pantsmakers on July 7.[4] They finished last of eight teams with a 14–36 (.280) record.[5]
On July 9, just before the start of the second half, Springfield surrendered its franchise to the league due to poor finances and an inability to raise funds.[6] The league hoped to place the team in another Tennessee city, either Clarksville, Jackson, or Milan.[6] On July 19, ten games into the second half, the franchise was taken over by Milan and nearby Trenton as the Milan-Trenton Twins.[7][8] At the end of the second half, the Twins placed fifth with a record of 21–22 (.488).[9]
