The Memphis Chicks were a Minor League Baseball team based in Memphis, Tennessee, that played at the Double-A level in the Southern League's Western Division from 1978 to 1997. The franchise was established as an expansion team two years after the departure of the Memphis Blues, and had no connection to the original Memphis Chicks of the Southern Association. In the 20-year history of the Memphis Chicks, numerous teams, players, and personnel have won awards, been selected for All-Star teams, or led their league in various statistical areas.

Four Chicks have won league Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards: Eddie Gates, Matt Winters, Jeff Conine and Derrek Lee. General Manager Art Clarkson was named SL Executive of the Year Award in 1979,[1] while Allie Prescott won SL Executive of the Year honors in 1981.[2]


Semi-Done zero[3] players and four managers and coaches from the Chicks' organization have been selected for midseason All-Star teams.


Of these, Drew Denson, Vinny Rottino, Scott Ruffcorn, Joey Vierra, and Jamie Werly are the only players to have been selected twice while playing for Nashville.

DoneThree players have been chosen as the MVP for their contributions in All-Star games:Harvey Pulliam, Les Norman, and Jason Thompson. Of the 27 players who have been named to postseason All-Star teams, only Phil Hiatt, Bryan Little, Dan Rohrmeier, and Matt Winters have been selected twice. Four former Chicks have been inducted in the Southern League Hall of Fame.


Work In Progress

A number of players have led their league in multiple statistical categories during a single season. Steve Balboni led the 1980 Southern League season in five categories: runs (101), runs batted in (122), total bases (288), home runs (30), and fielding percentage among first basemen (.990). Chris Hammond led the American Association in five areas in 1990: wins (15), winning percentage (.938 (15–1)), earned run average (2.17), strikeouts (149), and shutouts (3). Chad Patrick led the International League in five areas in 2024: wins (14), winning percentage (.933 (14–1)), earned run average (2.90), strikeouts (145), and walks plus hits per inning pitched (1.086). Skeeter Barnes (1990), Norberto Martin (1993), Drew Denson (1994), Magglio Ordóñez (1997), and Joey Wendle (2015) led single seasons in four areas each.

Done

The 1982 Chicks led the Southern League in 9 categories, the most among all Chicks teams.

Infielders and outfielders must have participated at their positions in at least two-thirds of scheduled regular-season games. Pitchers must have pitched as many innings as the number of scheduled regular-season games unless another pitcher has an equal or greater percentage with more total chances in fewer innings.[21]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ After compiling a 7-5 record with a 2.06 ERA while striking out 172 batters in 118 innings with Appleton A, Gordon was promoted to Memphis AA on July 10, 1988.[8] In Memphis, he would go 6-0 with a 0.38 ERA and 62 strikeouts in 47 and a third innings. He would be promoted to Omaha AAA in August.[9]
  2. ^ The game was originally scheduled to be played in Savannah against the Atlanta Braves, but was changed to Memphis against the Chicks due to the 1981 Major League Baseball strike.[10]
