The Tennessee Rats was a small club of Black baseball players formed in Holden, Missouri running from approximately 1910[1] to 1926.
Brown,[2] the Tennessee Rats was almost purely a traveling team, and toured much of Iowa and other surrounding states, playing baseball and in the early years, producing a minstrel show to add to the box office take after the baseball games.
[citation needed] Many researchers do not consider the Tennessee Rats a "formal" Negro league team.
Today, the Tennessee Rats are rarely mentioned in Black baseball history, and stats and rosters are hard to find.
