The Paris Parisians were a minor league baseball team, based in Paris, Tennessee, that played in the Kentucky-Illinois-Tennessee League from 1923-1924. The 1924 club took the league's second half honors somewhat by surprise, matching the Jackson Blue Jays towards the end of the season after three of the latter team's victories were thrown out by the league president. On September 6, a championship game was played,[1] with the Parisians coming out victorious. In total, they went 59-50 on the year.[2] Multiple major leagues played for the KITTY League squad, including Ben Cantwell, Tom Jenkins,[3] Jimmy Moore, Herb Welch and All-Star Jim Turner, who began a 25-year professional playing career with the Paris club.[4][5][6][7][8]
